NR Narayana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani and Salil Parekh on the most important skill in the AI era

It's not every day that you get the doyens of Infosys together on one platform. A few weeks ago, Moneycontrol’s Chandra R Srikanth was in conversation with Infosys veterans Nandan Nilekani, NRN Murthy and Salil Parekh where they spoke about why the Indian IT industry cannot be written off, winning in the AI era and the skills that will help techies thrive. "I think there are many times in the past when such obituaries have been written. So, whenever there's a major technology shift or a major business model shift, people say that. But I'm very, very confident that in the current environment with the advent of AI, not only certainly at Infosys we can say that not only will we master this technology capability, but we’ll also actually use it to our advantage to again move forward and become even more critical to the world's technology needs" Nilekani said.
