I feel uncomfortable coming to Delhi where indiscipline is the highest: Narayana Murthy
New Delhi: Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy expressed discomfort with visiting the national capital, citing the prevalence of traffic rule violations as a major concern.
He highlighted Delhi as the city with the highest levels of indiscipline, providing an example of the challenges faced by visitors and residents alike.
During his speech at the All India Management Association (AIMA) Foundation Day event, Murthy emphasized the importance of valuing community property more than personal property to prevent corruption in public governance.
He suggested that such a value system could help avoid issues of dishonesty.
"I really feel very uncomfortable coming to Delhi. This is one city where indiscipline is the highest. Let me give you an example. I came yesterday from the Airport. At a red signal, there were so many cars, motorbikes and scooters, you know, violating the red light without a single care," Murthy said.
"If we can't even wait a minute or two, just to move forward. Do you think those people will wait if there is money? Of course, they won't wait," he added.
Murthy emphasized the importance of instilling the right values in the corporate world and suggested that we begin teaching our children to practice these values in small areas with low returns.
By doing so, they will gradually become accustomed to following the correct path and develop the ability to resist temptation in situations with larger rewards.
Murthy said that he doesn't hate a person, but the act. "I want to be known as here lies a person who tried his best to be fair," he said.
Talking about the future of technology with tools like ChatGPT in place, Murthy said that science is about revealing nature while technology is about using the power of science to make life of human beings more comfortable, improve productivity, reduce cost, solve problems, etc.
"Artificial intelligence has made our lives more comfortable by becoming assistive technologies. I think there is a mistaken belief that artificial intelligence will replace human beings. Human beings will not allow artificial intelligence to replace it because human beings have the power of mind."
No computer, as we know, can equal the mind of a child. Even though such experiments have been conducted many times," Murthy said.
