Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy believes that both management and technology graduates play equally important roles in today’s world, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
In a recent interview, Murthy said he doesn’t see one group as better than the other. Instead, he explained that they solve problems in different but connected ways. “Management graduates ask ‘what needs to be done,’ while tech graduates focus on ‘how to do it,’” he said. Both skills are needed to solve problems completely.
Murthy said AI doesn’t give an advantage to one group—it helps everyone. He called AI a “technological marvel” that boosts productivity and helps solve problems that humans alone cannot. This means both tech and management professionals can use AI to do their jobs better.
