Good shepherd
Arun Kumar, who passed away this year, guided the difficult years of transition
at Nasscom, between Dewang Mehta's sudden demise and the appointment of Kiran
Karnik. Also as a founder member of TiE, he has been a mentor to several budding
entrepreneurs. Even in Hughes, he guided them through many of its defining
moments in history including three ownership changes in three years. Kumar was
there to not just oversee these changes, but successfully assimilate them into
the internal DNA. He was the guiding force behind the successful launch of
Hughes' landmark IPO in 1999, India's first book built offer. And, nothing
of these would have happened if Kumar had decided not to stay back in India;
after all, he was sent from the US only to start Hughes' operations here in
1995.
