“Documenting institutional memory is as important as technology itself”: Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy

“If you want to build an organization with strong values, if you want to protect the dignity of every employee, you as a leader have to walk the talk. Value will not come from speeches, but from actions. Values, discipline, strong leadership and compassionate capitalism will take the society/country forward”, said Chief Guest Mr. N. R. Narayana Murthy, Founder of Infosys, during a fireside chat with Dr. Balakrishnan Mahadevan, Post Doctoral Fellow at IIM Bangalore, earlier today at the Institute. The Center for Digital Public Goods (CDPG) hosted the launch of the book, ‘Designing Change: My Journey Through Digital Payments Transformation’, authored by Dr. Mahadevan on January 23, 2026, and the chat was a highlight of the event. The day also saw leaders from policy, industry and academia reflecting on India’s extraordinary journey in building one of world’s most advanced digital payments ecosystems.
