The existentialist dilemma before Indian democracy is stark :
it cannot co-exist with financial honesty. It does not matter if you are
personally incorruptible; you have to be institutionally corrupt in order to
engage in the business of democracy. The moral code of elections is
uncomplicated : Don’t ask. Don’t tell. And for God’s sake don’t get caught.

58 Infosys plans to stem MBA-MTECH attrition

Infosys, the country’s second largest information technology
services firm, is aggressively planning to increase the number of its business
consultants by re-skilling many of its engineers.

“Every quarter, a lot of people leave us for higher courses
like MBA and MTech. We have seen a rise in the interest level of our employees
for consulting work. To tame this and provide growth opportunity for engineers,
we are planning to introduce a new initiative as part of our iRace (Infosys Role
and Career Enhancement) programme,” said Mohandas Pai.

In-house CAT : In-house engineers with over two years of
experience can opt for this programme. The company is expected to do a pilot
test soon and to implement the programme next year. “We will conduct a test for
the employees and if they pass the test, they can join our consulting team,” Pai
added.
