Corporate Performance Excellence Dr. KRS Murthy I have led a variety of leading edge technology companies, global companies, universities, many professional societies, non-profit organizations, government organizations, acted in drama groups, directed dramas, and developed very creative and foundational research programs of national importance, developed holistic national strategies, and taking pride in having developed novel paradigms, paradigm shifts, axiomatic and foundational contributions in over 45 distinctly diverse disciplines. Below are my leadership track record in running leading edge high technology companies, with focus on corporate leadership best in class approaches and strategies. I place pivotal value for creativity in all employees of all levels not only technical, scientific, marketing, business development, customer service, sales, marketing, market research, competitive strategy professionals, accounting, finance, purchasing, packaging, and especially executive levels, including even the Board of Director of the company I have managed, even though everyone gets credit for finishing their work on time, with no excuses. As a leader of the company, and Chairman of the Board of a diversity of leading edge high technology companies, I have employed a 360 degree rating for employees, management levels, and executive levels. I have noticed various devious techniques and trick that employees of levels use, for example with a focus on “managing their own supervisors, instead of focusing on their well rounded, creative, and corporate value based contributions. Competitive analysis, awareness, and strategy are extremely vital for the companies, while the executive team and the BOD run the company on industry benchmarking and competitive strategy. The companies should measure themselves through a thorough corporate performance metrics like Financial Value Added, Employee Value Added, Customer Value Added. Feel free to contact me if your company could benefit from stepping up its competence level for a holistic accelerated corporate growth. I serve as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of leading edge high technology companies, usually large private or public companies. I have delivered keynotes, plenaries, courses, and workshops in global level conferences on Corporate Governance Excellence and National Level Holistic Strategies. I am available for corporate governance advisories, leading roles in universities, keynote in high technology, corporate governance, and national holistic strategies. I have developed and implemented a novel paradigm in group brainstorming for all kind of organizations, conducted my “Kaleidoscope Brain Storming Paradigm” popularly known as “Out of the Body Brainstorming” in different corporate boards, leading universities, worlld famous R&D Labs in many countries and continents. Let me know if could be of corporate advisory value to your portfolio. Dr. KRS Murthy

The central point is rather simple, and should be obvious. But surprisingly, in a world where we glamourise AI models, we forget that 95% of factors that actually determine impact are beyond AI. This is especially true for "AI for social good". Join the webinar to learn and debate!

AI's potential impact on the world of education, and indeed other sectors, is something I've been observing with keen interest. 🌍 The recent Holoniq survey illuminates intriguing insights about the increasing adoption of AI across educational institutions. 🎓 A significant rise in AI investments from 14% in 2019 to 25% in 2022 shows a promising trend. Yet, despite growing interest, many organizations are still navigating AI's potential applications. There's no denying that AI can substantially improve customer outcomes, as 75% of the respondents cited. Personalized learning, efficient delivery methods, and improved student support are just the tip of the iceberg. However, finding the right people to leverage these AI technologies appears challenging for many. As a leader, such data provides valuable insights and challenges me to understand better AI's potential and how to incorporate it effectively into our practices at Axelerant. We're all on a fascinating journey, and I'm eager to see how it unfolds.

“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” This timeless wisdom captures the essence of our journey at Codvo.ai. Just a few days ago, at our Horizon 2027 event, we took a step back to reflect on how far we’ve come—and where we’re headed. It felt like standing on a bridge, looking back at the road we’ve traveled and ahead at the possibilities waiting for us. In 2024, we achieved so much: • The commercial adoption of Neio, our agentic automation platform, began to scale faster than we could have imagined. • We were named a Great Place to Work for the third year running—proof that the culture we’ve built together is stronger than ever. • And, most importantly, we made a real multi-million-dollar impact for our customers, helping them unlock the power of AI and transform their bottom lines through data-led innovations. But as we celebrated these milestones, something became crystal clear: we’re just getting started. The future is AI-powered—a future where innovation will reshape industries, create new possibilities, and challenge us all to think bigger and move smarter. At Codvo.ai, we’re not just excited about this future—we’re building it. As a trusted digital execution partner, we’ve seen firsthand how AI can unlock potential, solve complex problems, and create value for our customers in ways that were once unimaginable. The next three years bring hugely ambitious goals. They’re bold. They’re challenging. But they’re doable—because of our incredible team, our shared vision, and our commitment to doing the right thing for our customers, always. This isn’t just about growing fast—it’s about going far, together. Here’s to the journey ahead and the impact we’ll create, one step at a time. #Horizon2027 #Innovation #AI #Growth #Leadership #codvo

At Adya we are enabling the ecosystem to succeed. India is a country that has an abundance of tech and data. We can't fall behind in the AI story. What happened with the mobile revolution is that it allowed the Global South to skip the desktop and get connected to the internet. We know what value that was created by moving approx 2B people globally to the information age. The current #AI revolution is very similar. An entire population is skipping digitization and moving straight to intelligence. So, how do we enable 60 million businesses and 25K enterprises in India to get ahead of the world and create the best AI use cases? India has data and developers. If we provide India with platforms like #Vanij that helps people to build any custom LLM or SLM that they need with their data or enable them to create any AI app, agent, copilot or workflow they need with the developers they have, we can open the floodgates. We are incredibly grateful to have investors like IAN Group (formerly Indian Angel Network) enabling us. With partners like Microsoft Azure Microsoft NVIDIA Google Cloud and others, we are on a mission. Connect with me to find out more!

The NASSCOM Innotrek Experience #9 / 101 In 2015, ActOnMagic was selected to participate in NASSCOM Innotrek, a special program where NASSCOM connects startups with global VCs. It was a wonderful program that provided exposure to TiE Silicon Valley and its ecosystem. We visited the offices of Google, Facebook, Y Combinator, and attended insightful sessions on building startups. These experiences were vital and provided founders with much-needed confidence. As a bootstrapping startup, I hustled a lot (like many other founders). I want to thank my friend Sambath and his family for hosting me at their residence for a week. I recall one VC who shared boldly about how VCs make money and how they choose to spend their time. If I remember correctly, VCs get a percentage of the funds they manage. If they return multiple X returns, they make multiples of that percentage. VCs focus on finding companies that can give 10x, 100x returns. At TiE Silicon Valley, the startup booths were very powerful! I learned lots of marketing tips. I remember a guy wearing a big backpack with messages about his startup and contact details on the outer side. Great exposure! An invaluable experience was travelling with other 39 startup founders in the bus, learning from their experiences and NASSCOM volunteers Reference: https://lnkd.in/gHJRXnxs Have a great day! #vc #startupstory #founder #actonmagic #sweetmantra #siliconvalley #Facebook #google #ycombinator #nasscom #innotrek

𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁, 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝗱, 𝗧𝗼 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Charming, brilliant, and hilarious—Huggy Hayagreeva Rao had the Sand Technologies team glued to our seats during our most recent company-wide "Thursday Late Discussion" session. Huggy is the co-author of "Scaling Up Excellence" and a professor of Organizational Behaviour at Stanford University. So when he speaks, we're all ears. One of the key takeaways that really struck a chord with us was Huggy's perspective on scaling excellence. He described it as "multiplying curiosity with generosity." Huggy pointed out that as companies grow, they often fall into the trap of "addition bias" and "time poverty." We just can't help but pile on more and more, until we're so overwhelmed that our curiosity and generosity take a backseat. Next thing you know, we're just going through the motions, feeling depleted, and lacking that sense of accountability. But the truth is that scaling isn't just about addition. In fact, sometimes it's about smart subtraction. We need to identify and remove the obstacles that stifle our team's ability to be curious and generous. When people are in that mindset, magic happens, problems get solved, everyone brings their A-game, and we all go home feeling energized rather than drained. Also, subtraction is like mowing the lawn: it's not a one-and-done deal—you've got to keep at it regularly. It's not just about efficiency, but about giving our team the gift of time, which inspires them to reciprocate with their best efforts. We have been on a massive scaling journey over the last three years. Our operations have grown from one site to 30 sites and the number of engineers we are developing has grown by 5,000X (which if my math is correct is about 500,000%). We are just getting started, so we’re always curious about what we need to do as an organization to maintain our scale, and not lose quality, dynamism, agility, and our innovative spirit. The team is already lobbying for Huggy to host our TLD every week 😄—a testament to how insightful, thought-provoking, and relatable his lessons are. We have homework, though; time to put these ideas to work and start scaling up excellence.
