Kris Gopalakrishnan Of Infosys To Help Indian Government With Cloud Computing

The Government Of India has appointed IT Major's executive co-chairman, Mr. Kris Gopalakrishnan to head the panel for cloud computing. GOI is currently working on making sure that they get their cloud computing strategy (read control 😉 ) right. The panel will help updating the drafts of India's IT Policy.

I can understand Government of India's love affair with Infosys leadership. The Indian Government earlier appointed Mr. Nandan Nilekani (Infosys co-founder) to head the UIDAI project.

Why do you think Indian Government loves Infosys leadership?
