Brief Profile
of Mr. Jerry Rao
Jerry Rao,
the iconic founder of IT firm Mphasis has also served as General Manager and
Vice President of India operations of Electronic Data Systems Corp. (EDS) . Mr.
Rao served as Non- Executive Chairman and Non- Executive Director of Mphasis
BFL of Electronic Data Systems Corp.
Now Jerry is
completely immersed into his next business innings: Nano housing.
Just like
the Nano car, he wants to work backwards from his sub-Rs 7 lakh price point to
deliver homes to a varied buyer profile that includes drivers, housemaids,
plumbers and electricians. Jerry Rao’s new venture, Value and Budget Housing
Development Corporation, is targeting building a million homes in 10 years in
17 cities.
Synopsis of
his lecture:
You don't
necessarily have to be the top most authority in your group/organization to be
a leader; at some point or the other all of us expected to be a leader when
situation demands exemplary portrayal of that one best quality/talent each one
of us possess. The works of Shakespeare, especially 'Henry V' offers a lot to
learn about leadership and how a leader is born from an ordinary human being.
