Narayana Murthy suggests hiring IAS officers from the private sector and B-schools to achieve a $50 trillion economy.

Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy advocates for a management-driven approach emphasizing vision, cost efficiency, innovation, and swift execution to meet the evolving needs of governance.

Infosys co-founder N. R. Narayana Murthy has suggested a significant reform in the civil services, proposing that Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) officers be recruited from business schools instead of solely through the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examinations.

Speaking at the CNBC-TV18 Global Leadership Summit on November 14, Murthy outlined key priorities for India to accelerate its economic growth and development, aiming for a $50 trillion economy.

“It’s time for India to transition from an administrative mindset to a management mindset,” he said. “Administration focuses on maintaining the status quo, whereas management emphasizes vision, high aspirations, and achieving what seems like the plausible impossible.”

According to the Infosys co-founder, the current system of competitive UPSC examinations can only produce civil servants trained in general administration. He recommended a management-based approach that focuses on vision, cost control, innovation, and rapid execution to cater to the changing demands of governance.

Murthy also addressed the backlash against his recent call for the Indian youth to work 70 hours a week. He expressed disappointment over India’s shift from a six-day to a five-day work-week culture.

“About 25 years ago, K V Kamath at an event was asked about his opinion on work-life balance. He said that India is a poor country with a lot of challenges. We first have to get a life, then we can worry about work-life balance,” he said.
