Nandan Nikelani, the Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of Infosys Technologies has resigned from the Board of Infosys to head the Unique ID project.
The Unique ID project aims to uniquely identify the 1.2 billion population of our country. Considering the magnanimity of the project, Nandan Nilekani is the correct pick to head the project. It is good that India has finally started a project like this while its counterparts like USA have their social security number that was designed long back.
Nandan to me is an iconic hero, he has resigned from the board of the company he has co-founded to head a project which has a far greater reach and advantages to the country with more than a billion population. I wonder how many corporate business men would be ready to do that?
P.S: I have read an article which talks about Nandan Nilekani trouncing or getting a headstart over Narayan Murthy. Its really sad to see articles which compare two great icons. Both of them are great people with great values. Let us celebrate their brillance than comparing them.
