Don't criticize Narayana Murthy unless you have built a multi crore company yourself.

I honestly find this defense of NRN utterly funny and lazy. It's like saying don't criticize the bad food in a restaurant unless you are a chef. Or don't criticize the plumber for doing a bad job, coz you ain't a plumber.

Yes sure Narayana Murthy has really done a great job in setting up Infy, starting the IT revolution in India, creating a multi crore company.

But he ain't a holy cow for sure. His views and opinions have every right to be questioned and examined. He ain't some random faceless account, he is a public figure known all over. There are people who will take his views seriously.

One of the reasons for Tech's rapid progress is how theories were examined critically. Once upon a time waterfall model was the default for all projects. However as companies found it more inefficient, they switched to the Agile methodology.

Problem is most of NRN's views are kinda frozen in time, might have worked in the 90s and early 2000s. Today they are utterly outdated and irrelevant. And people will question them whether you like it or not.
