NRN - Man Behind INFOrmation SYStems


He is the Chairman and Chief Mentor of this company which was started by just six professionals. And now the company is almost having more than 30k employees, really incredible!!!

NRN was born on August 20, 1946 in Karnataka, India. He obtained his Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (B.E.) from University of Mysore in 1967 and his Master of Technology (M.Tech.) from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur in 1969.

In March 1999, Infosys Technologies became the first India-registered company to be listed on an American stock exchange (NASDAQ: INFY).

Now as you all know INFOSYS is well known for all software services and the tough competitor for TCS. Apart from this, INFOSYS also has a foundation which is headed by Sudha Murthy, great woman behind NRN!!!
Yeah, she had a quite inspirational story, wanna know go... click


Good inspiration for many of us!!!
Especially for me, one of the most inspirational leaders in the IT industry!!!

My Boss


Its really fun to write a post about my Boss and the CEO of Oracle Corp.

The great man's Biography:

Ellison was born to Florence Spellman, a 19 year old unwed mother, who placed her nine-month old son for adoption.
Distant relatives to Ellison, Lillian and Louis Ellison, took him into their home.
At 15, he began a long-term relationship that lasted for five years and ended sorely—depending on whom is asked, he unsuccessfully proposed marriage either once or twice. He lasted until the end of his sophomore year at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign but dropped out following Lillian's death.After a summer in Northern California, he returned home to study at the University of Chicago, but left after one semester. Ending his attempts to finish undergrad, he set out for California.

Wanna see others like Larry, click

1970 - Joined Ampex Corporation
One of his projects was a database for the CIA, which he named "Oracle".

1977 - He was influenced by ideas of Codd and thinking about starting a company
which does something to the database and he put $2000 from his pocket and
named the company called "Software development labaratories"

Larry is too clever to release his Oracle verion 2, without releasing the Version 1.
The release number was intended to imply that all of the bugs had been worked out of an earlier version. How a strategic player he is!!!

In 2005, Forbes reported that Ellison has a net worth of around $18.4 billion, making him the ninth richest man in the world.

But this 61 year old guy recently got married at 2003 for a Romance novelist Melanie Craft and she was his fourth wife.


Thats all about Larry...
Next in my bloque, NRM...
