How you behave when you are on top and have power and wealth is your true character. In such moments, grace, courtesy, and humility shown to others reveal the real you."Murthy also recalled how he built Infosys and the value system he carried over the years."No caste, religion, social background, economic background matters... only meritocracy matters in our organisation. We have the same lunch area and toilets for everyone. We do not discriminate. We have fought for our ethics and value system, we have sacrificed a lot for it, we have also gained a lot due to our value system."In the future, at a time when there is fog on your windshield, I hope these time-invariant ideals will serve you in gaining clarity. These ideals define the finish line. Until these ideals become your second nature, my young friends, your journey and mission will not be over. My hope for India of the future is that you, the future corporate leaders, will ensure that for all ages, for all seasons, for all regions, for all businesses, and for all people, our country will be led by the ideals I have laid out today.
