Entrepreneur brings back GURUMANTRA lecture Series

Second Edition in Mumbai with Phaneesh Murthy

October 12, 2011:

Entrepreneur magazine in association with Client Associates is proud to present the second edition of Guru Mantra lecture series with Phaneesh Murthy, CEO of iGATE Patni, better known as the man who built a US$1 billion empire in just 7 years.

An alumnus of the Indian Institue of Ahmadabad and Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Murthy began his journey in 1992 as a part of Infosys, a firm he helped become the bellwether company of the Indian IT sector.

His contribution to Infosys has been widely regarded as one of the major reasons why Infosys became the IT giant that represented the booming Indian economy along with other luminaries. Since his exit from Infosys in 2002, Murthy has served first as the founder of US-based consulting firm Primentor and then as the co-founder of Quintant Services in 2003.

The latter was acquired by iGate in 2003, bringing Murthy to the top of a major IT giant once again. At iGate, Murthy has helped to improve the company's performance by bringing in a new management team, changing the firm's business models, putting emphasis on higher offshore revenue contribution, increasing resource utilization, amongst other measures.

Murthy also spearheaded iGate's acquisition of Patni Computers, the sixth largest IT company in India for US$1.22 billion, creating an IT behemoth that employs a talent pool of 26000 people to deliver solutions to 360 Fortune 1000 clients across the Americas, Europe- Middle East-Africa, and Asia-Pacific.

Murthy will be talking to a select gathering of established entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and corporate executives at the ITC Grand Central, Parel on October 18, 2011 at 1930 hrs. The talk will be followed by an interactive Q and A session on the Indian entrepreneurial ecosystem with the audience, where Murthy will discuss his trials and tribulations as an entrepreneur and what it takes to succeed in the modern economy.
