Kiran Karnik
Kiran Karnik, who was president of Nasscom from 2001 to 2008, is widely recognized for his work in the IT sector – including his role in putting Satyam Computers back on track as chairman of its government-appointed board, after the company suffered the biggest corporate fraud in India's history. During his tenure at Nasscom, exports grew nearly eight times, nearing the USD 50 billion mark, and Nasscom itself became a globally known and respected brand. Currently, Karnik is a member of several high-level national committees, including the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister. He has been conferred many awards, including the Padma Shri.
