Patni, the Breeder of Indian Innovators, Taking its Last Breath


A great company for employees

Contemporary to the building of India’s largest IT firm TCS, the seeds of the Great IT Dream were sown in the minds of Narendra Patni while he was at his Boston apartment, studying in MIT. After the setup in the seventies, there would have hardly been a worker at Payni who did not take pride of its employer. "I learnt a lot at PCS. It is sad to see its demise. Ashok Patni is one of the finest bosses anybody could have, “said Narayana Murthy when informed about the dissolution. A former member of board at Patni and the current chairman of IndiaAsia Fund Advisors, Pradip P Shah said “It was family-controlled but not run like family business. It was not just about money; Narendra Patni was educated, as were all the brothers.”
