Interesting article from the McKinsey Quarterly, on News.com

Infosys is the premier IT company in India. I read a fascinating article elsewhere on how they got started in the early '80s as a three-person outfit. The chairman (the founder) looks like a doofus, but is incredibly intelligent. Bill G. regularly hob-nobs with him on his trips to India. The chairman's wife was his classmate in Engineering school, and he proposed to her. It was she who actually paid the bills for 3-4 years with her job in another company while the husband got his business off the ground! They lead a very simple life (rent a two-bedroom upstairs apartment), give a lot to charity and generally are role models in the true sense of the word.
