WHAT I LEARNT FROM MY COMPETITOR(15)
“I Admired Cognizant's Sales
Aggression, TCS' Delivery Maturity and Wipro's R&D Focus“
V Balakrishnan, Cofounder, Exfinity Ventures Ltd
CLAIM TO FAME: Part of the
core team of Infosys, which made it a global IT firm and listed it on the
NASDAQ
THE LESSON: During my stint
at Infosys, I met several leaders of competing IT companies. One common thread
across the leadership in IT companies is their humility and simplicity. I
admired the sales aggressiveness of Cognizant, delivery maturity of TCS and
R&D focus of Wipro. We tried to imbibe those into Infosys.We formed a CFO
club that was cohesive and we used to go on holidays along with our families
together. We learned to respect each other and learn from each other even
though we competed in the market on a day to day basis.
