The ISB has much in common with what Murthy espouses and respects his values and endeavours to nurture a spirit of entrepreneurship and make a positive impact on society. The announcement was met with a thunderous applause from the audience at the Khemka Auditorium of the ISB’s Hyderabad campus, where NRN was participating in the Dean’s Speakers Series moderated by the ISB Dean.
