Values" (Photo: Business Wire)
The conversation is part of Murthy’s trip to Vietnam. The two
leaders addressed a live and webcast audience of over 5,000,
including tech leaders, practitioners, and young IT enthusiasts.
Both highlighted their shared values and envisioned a future where
respect, education, and entrepreneurial spirit accelerate growth
and prosperity.
Vietnam's Bright Future
Murthy affirmed Vietnam's recent emergence as a global
technology destination, reflecting the country’s commitment and
investments. He also spotlighted the courage, hard work,
discipline, creativity, and ambition of multiple generations of
Vietnamese people. With these qualities, over the next two decades,
Vietnam will become a leading developed nation in Asia and one of
the fastest-growing globally.
“Vietnam's GDP is already US$4,300 per capita and will continue
to grow faster than most economies in the world. I believe Vietnam
will achieve prosperity for its people more quickly than many other
countries in Asia,” he emphasized.
Respect: The Cornerstone of Success
The Infosys founder underscored the importance of delineating
roles in the workplace, highlighting the need for clear boundaries
in developing countries to ensure efficient business operations.
"Respect from customers translates to profitability and attracts
top talent. In my experience, money is not the most important
factor — employees seek respect and appreciation for their
abilities," he said.
Education and Entrepreneurship
During the conversation, Murthy also discussed the importance of
entrepreneurship in driving socio-economic progress, improving
lives, and the values needed to build a successful enterprise, from
a long-term vision, integrity and humility, to creating favorable
conditions for employees and unique values for customers.
He emphasized on the "entrepreneurial spirit", explained that
entrepreneurs transform ideas into jobs, and applauded that spirit
within FPT, together with the Corporation’s visionary leadership
and resilience through the decades. "FPT and Vietnam have no rivals
in their courage and aspirations," he affirmed.
Narayana Murthy is widely credited as one of the pioneers of
Indian information technology. As India continues to command the
world’s leading position in IT, a focus on modern innovations that
are central to advancing global technological capabilities, is of
critical importance. A 2023 report by Boston Consulting Group and
NASSCOM predicts that by 2030, the Software, Automotive, and
Semiconductor industries will account for over 60% of India's
contributions to global ER&D (Engineering, Research &
Development) sourcing. The semiconductor industry plays an
especially important role, driven by global efforts to establish
India as a hub for semiconductor manufacturing.
Echoing a similar sentiment, FPT Chairman, Truong Gia Binh,
asserted that Vietnam’s landscape is now driven by the five areas
of Artificial Intelligence, Automotive, Semiconductor, Digital
Transformation, and Green Transition. These will continue to play a
key role in establishing the nation’s stature in decades to come.
Its growing reputation as a technology destination is evident from
its thriving digital economy, with FPT as the first
Vietnam-headquartered company to enter the Top 50 IT Services
Companies in Asia. The Corporation also sets an ambitious target to
fully integrate Vietnam into the global semiconductor
ecosystem.
“Both Vietnam and India share the common goal of leveraging
these sectors to establish ourselves as the key players in the
global market. FPT has been doing our part in fueling these
movements with our strategic investments, partnerships, development
of high-value technology, as well as the emphasis on workforce
training and development. We are affirmative that Vietnam can be
the answer to these areas, and I am empowered by the continued
confidence from an IT visionary like Murthy in FPT’s acceleration
together with our country and towards our next billion-dollar
milestone,” Binh said.
At the invitation of FPT Corporation, Murthy and his
delegation's visit includes a series of activities, such as meeting
with Vietnam's Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the country's
prominent companies to discuss topics critical to the continued
growth of Vietnam’s digital economy, technology advancement across
sectors, education, and training, as well as regional stability and
development.
