I dont believe in legacy: NRN

We met him, as always, in his tiny office in what Infosys calls the Heritage Building. Its the oldest building on the 81-acre campus in Electronics City in Bangalore. Till Friday, his last day in the company he founded in 1981, N R Narayana Murthy occupied that office, not bothering to shift to the more modern corporate HQ that was built later and where the other founders sit. Modern technology still excites him. He shows off a Logitech keypad he had just got for his iPad. It also acts as a cover for the tablet, he says, his face animated. Excerpts from an interview: Its your last day at Infosys, how do you feel? On Thursday my son was asking me the same thing. I said till the last day I have given all I could for this company. As somebody who doesnt believe in the past, does not believe in legacy, I think what is important is to do the best in present so I can create a bright future. So what are your plans? My son asked me that too. I said I deserve to take it easy. If I want to go to my home-office I will go. When I want to read I will read. Any case, my external responsibilities, attending board meetings, all of that will continue. I dont believe in the concept of second innings.
