fINACLE is a direct copy of flexcube of i flex technologies. But finacle is cheap. The difference is between ambassador car and a porche 911

Akshay,
I respect Infosys. But if you know the banking arena, you won't be saying that its is dominated by Finacle. Do you know that the world's largest bank CitiBank runs on Flexcube. Internationally, Flexcube dominates the market. In India, banks use Finacle as Core Banking Solution and also integrates many other products along with Finacle. Also do you know Finacle is not a complete banking suite like FlexCube.

Buddy.. for that matter who has invented what in our country? As a nation whether we are cleaning toilet or launching rocket lets be proud of what we are best at.. Today we are best at IT (whatever it means)... This has helped in shaping our generation and ourselves as a nation greatly! Lets be happy.. And if Infy had not been there, there still would not have been the concept of wealth sharing in India... TCS and WIPRO were still eating all the money they earned by paying peanuts to their employees until Infy unleashed the weapon called sharing the wealth that is created... That is definitely their invention.. Otherwise name one business house (including the TATAs and Birlas) who has had this positive approach of maiking all rich... Most of the business houses like TATAs and Birlas have only created dependents... lol

so what is the big deal, just become you pay your employees more than some body else, does that make you a great company, why are you called a tech company, just because you to know to type??
To be an inventor you need to invest not just your money, time but also your ass.
infosy is just enjoying the boom, bet me if you want , 3 bad quarters and they are bankrupt

Great going dude (dream girl) I was expecting atleast one optimistic view. We have not invented but we are very much on the path of invention. (crawl, stand, walk and run)In maslow theory we are jus completed with our basic requirements we have not achieved the self esteem or self actualisation stage. It takes some time Sir.
Giving 70,000 direct jobs is not a joke. For every direct jobs there are 3 indirect jobs created. Dont you think this in itself is a great social service. If IT model is replicated in Agriculture, Manufacturing etc. then we need to teach next generation what is poverty, illiteracy which will only be in books as history.
Im not with Infosys but I follow great leaders. Can you guys name any other IT DONs today. I think NRN and team are best in their jobs. They know where they are going and what they want. They have survived in 2002 IT bust I think they can survive any other situtaion like currency hardening, talent management.
Invention? It is really difficult. We also need to think abt the inventor, companies can jus be a sponsor. what else do u think they can do.
It is so easy to criticise a person or a company, but we need to think abt their achievement which is more than life. How many people know abt you and me, but say NRN etc. That in itself is a great achievement.

Heloo Dream girl, i think you do not know that infosys has stopped ESOPs, infosys is not sharing money, they only create hype around infosys. Tell me frankly, what great have they done to country which others did not do? there were many software companies much before infosys thought of software.
Infosys is too media focussed specially Nilekani. TCS CEO or WIPRO CEO do not come and talk to media for sake of talking. In no way is Infosys different from a WIPRO / TCS, then why so much media attention
RE:too media focussed
by Dream Girl on Jun 04, 2007 03:26 PM
Nilekani can talk and he is talking.. Whats ur problem? Who prevents TCS CEO or WIPRO CEO from talking to the media.. Let them also talk na... The difference is Nilekani is a man of his own where as the CEOs of the other two companies are mere dummies in the hands of the actual owners of the company... I do not know about WIPRO CEO.. But surely TCS CEO is not at all charismatic or media savvy...

First point: Dream Girl have you recently been gracefully removed out of either TCS or Wipro...?looks like..you are enjoying after joining infosys as you seem to have the most comments on this article...cool..no work just commenting...
Btw, only graceful looking and speaking CEO dont make sucessful companies...there much more to it... I hope you understand numbers.. TCS is a $4.3Bn company with the same un charismatic CEO and so it Wipro $3.3Bn with a white hair guy...learn maths..but I guess to join infosys you dont need that..I forgot...sorry.

Sidhartha,
Infy has a bigger brand image compared to other IT firms in India. Let us not talk what these firms have done good or bad. In general, IT firms have taken india to the global map. They have given their best to reduce the import-export deficit and are contributing to the forex chequer.
At the end of the day,Business is about making money. I don't know why the Infosys management talks as if it is doing a charity business. The Re Dollar equation is what created the wealth.But i foresee a future that in 2013 most of this Indian IT Majors will be sold out to MNC's like IBM/HP/Accenture. It has just started with EDS and Mphasis. It happened with Digital and Hughe software.And Infosys is no exemption. That you can see now no FII interested in the share .Things will chang with time.You can't make hay ever. Giants like GE and Ford are facing the situation of over employing people. Infosys current Manpower is its own weakness. Its too heavy and that will hamper its own growth like India suffering by population growth.

Yes you are right. Compare this people interview 5 or 6 years ago and now. Same information and nothing new except the company turn over and profit. This will not last long unless other wise Infosys will come up with some new products.
RE:Its all about Business
by bhaskar datta on Jun 04, 2007 04:05 PM
Just for yr info----Infy does nothave a "product"--its a service comapany.So no question of coming out with a new"product"
RE:Its all about Business
by srinivasan sv on Jun 04, 2007 03:34 PM
Thank you. For getting my view in the right sense even , i tried to have apractical approach.
We have had enough of Infosys. They have created wealth distributed it maintly to them and their employees. Less fortunate school children got access to computer education. For the public toilets.
These blue eyed companies needs to contribute more to the country.
Build self contained townships and shift all their offices away from cities.
Spare the ordinary citizens the hight cost of living be it education,rental houses,domestic help and what not !!

by roarraja on Jun 04, 2007 04:25 PM
Hi do you know the fact? infy never distributed brand new computers to schools, they donated computers which were dumped in the godown. I think you will be shocked to know that Mr.NRN has abondoned his mother in his old house, no one is there to take care of her during her old age, he does not love his mother, mother land, mother tounge, lick america

roarraja - your message typifies Indian mentality. i am not blaming/accusing you of anything
but step aside and think, you can disagree with what he does but please don't stoop to such a low level to malign his personal character, esp when we are not aware of the facts.

gopalakrishnan - infosys has no responsibility towards the country apart from statutory ones - pay taxes, abide law etc ...
outside this, they are not binded to help one feel "patriotic" about their nation. they are a business house and their primary interest lies with their shareholders ...
and i am guessing 100% of all business men, large and small will agree with my statement
It is bit boring to hear the same old stories again and again. Google started 10 years ago and see the products they invented till now and reached the uno position. When Infosys would invest some money on R&D side? and we love to hear about that.
RE:When Infosys will move to next level?
by piyush tilloo on Jun 04, 2007 03:24 PM
They will never invest in R&D I am not sure how much Top Nptch Talent these companies are able to hire, being from IIT I know not many are willing to join them, guess time has come to think beyond just providing "Service".
RE:What new?
by srinivasan sv on Jun 04, 2007 03:18 PM
i also not able to figure out where they bought a PC for Rs15000/= , in 1992. Is NRN making a fool out for others along with media?He has not explained till day why he disowned the National Anthem. Which is as good as I am Rich and I am shame of my poor Mother!
RE:What new?
by Ram on Jun 04, 2007 04:35 PM
As Stories are told and retold, they tend to evolve. The case is same with Infy story expecially Mr.NRN. They said that they started the company with 15000. And they got the money by selling Sudha Murthy's Ornaments (I got this info from kamalsinha.com). I also heard that NRN visited France, Mexico before he started Infosys. So saying that He is short of money is ridiculous and claiming the amount as 15,000 is even more ridiculous
