Letting go

摘要

IT'S a hard life on the top rungs of Infosys,the Indian technology company that has symbolised the country's economic rebirth. "I worked Saturdays, Sundays, every day 14 hours; just Infosys. I ignored my family; my poor wife has been ignored, my children have grown up, they will leave me and go and I will feel emptiness soon." So said a veteran executive as he announced his surprise retirement last month. Yet for all that Infosys has found it hard to escape the grip of its-presumably exhaustedfounders, seven of whom began the company in 1981 with $250 and turned it a global concern with a market value today of $37 billion.
