<Narayan Murthy says that talent is anyday more important than infrastructure.>[Samir Kelekar]
Murthy is only echoing what IBM's chief said years ago: Take all IBM infrastructure but leave its people and IBM will return to its former glory. The Japanese companies also laid great store by their "valued members" and worked assiduously to build corporate core competences for the long term survival and continuity of their firms. The lesson for Goa is that it needs both -- thinking and hard working people, on the one hand, as well as well thought out , well operated and well maintained infrastrucure (garbage, electricity, water supply, sewerage and drainage, air connectivity, local transport, roads etc etc) for the long haul, on the other. Both go hand in hand though on balance people would always have the edge as Murthy rightly implied.
