One of the pioneers of India's success as the information technology hub of the world, Infosys Limited founder N R Narayana Murthy, received KEEN4 Technocrat Lifetime Achievement Award last night in a ceremony held at the Bahrain Keraleeya Samajam.
It was organised by Kerala Engineers Forum (KEEN4), a fraternity of Indian engineers employed in Bahrain which is affiliated to Bahrain Society of Engineers.
The Economist ranked Mr Murthy among the 10 most admired global business leaders in 2005 and he topped the Economic Times list of India's most powerful chief executives in 2004, 2005 and 2006.
He co-founded tech services giant Infosys along with six colleagues in 1981 and went on to become one of India's most influential advocates for healthcare and rural development.
The global software major established Infosys Foundation in 1996 to help underprivileged communities in India, focusing on healthcare, education and rural development.
Works, Municipalities and Urban Planning Affairs Minister Essam Khalaf was the chief guest and the keynote speaker was Indian Ambassador Dr Mohan Kumar.
The ceremony was followed by a performance by renowned Ghazal maestro Pandit Ramesh Narayan
