Ada semacam connection antara Infosys dengan Perancis. Pada tahun 1960an Narayana Murthy belajar di Perancis. Sepulang dari sana, dengan hanya bermodal $470 dia berkongsi dengan 4 temannya membeli sebuah perusahaan yang bangkrut di Bangalore. Melalui proses jatuh bangun, singkat cerita jadilah Infosys, usaha software yang dikenal dunia, dan sahamnya diperdagangkaan di Nasdaq. Sekarang Narayana Murthy jadi orang nomor 4 terkaya di India.
Salam, RM -------- The Economic Times Online Printed from economictimes.indiatimes.com > News By Industry > Infotech> Software -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meet the 47-year-old French intern at Infosys NOEMIE BISSERBE TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ SUNDAY, MAY 01, 2005 10:50:13 AM] Sign into earnIndiatimes points Say ‘intern’ and you conjure up images of a 20-something MBA student, earnestly working through the summer months at a blue-chip, hoping that the internship would translate into a permanent offer at the end of course. So, it comes as a pleasant suprise to meet some like Pascal Yrissou, who at 47, isn’t exactly an “intern” material. But he is indeed interning at Infosys Technologies as part of the final step to complete his MBA programme at Columbia University. But then Yrissou isn’t a typical MBA grad either. This is in fact his second MBA. The first one was from London Business School. Yrissou, after holding key positions at Rhodia (a huge chemical group in France), Chase Manhattan Bank and Barclays Bank, chose to come to India, to follow an internship at Infosys with a definite purpose in mind. “French companies could surely learn a lot from Indian IT firms’ business model. I came here not only because I wanted to immerse myself into India’s history and society, but because I wanted to see the IT industry’s processes in India, understand their business model, and Infosys is at the core of this industry”, he explained, before adding, “it is one thing to know, and another to see”. Yrissou will spend one month in Bangalore, before moving to the Paris office, where he will complete the rest of his internship. As of today, very few French companies are working with IT firms in Bangalore, and very rare are those who have set up a facility in Bangalore during the last years. Yrissou, who currently works as an independant Business Adviser foresees a tremendous opportunity in this void. “Working with Indian IT companies is a very efficent way to cut cost and be more competitive on the global market and my plan is to help Infosys, and other IT companies in India, to work with French companies. My experience at Infosys Paris office will thus be particularly enriching”, he said. After completing his management programme at Columbia, Yrissou intends to continue with his career as a consultant. He sees his Infosys internship adding value to his work of trying to get French to work with Indian firms. “There are two options for these (French) companies. Either they can collaborate with an Indian company, or they can set up their own company in India”, he explained. For many global companies, outsourcing tasks to Indian firms, was just a first step before setting up their own facility in India. “ Yet, argues Yrissou, a French company willing to set up today its own facility will face the same issues as an Indian firm. Not only is there a fierce competition for the best talents but it is also very complicated to retain employees. Not that setting up facilities in India is not an option which can be considered, but only after a significant period of time”, he concluded. ©Bennett, Coleman and Co., Ltd.
