Rejecting the Divide: Skills Must Complement, Not Compete<\/strong>
Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy<\/strong> has a clear message for young professionals entering the AI era: stop choosing sides between MBA and engineering<\/strong>. In a recent interview with Moneycontrol<\/em>, Murthy emphasized that technical and managerial skills are equally important<\/strong>, as they both approach and solve problems differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do not see any difference between a management graduate and a technology graduate,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cOne asks \u2018what,\u2019 the other asks \u2018how.\u2019 Both are needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI: A Tool for Smarter Humans, Not Fewer Jobs<\/strong>
Murthy dismissed the fear that AI will replace human workers<\/strong>, calling such concerns outdated. Drawing a parallel with the computerisation of banks, he reminded that fears of job losses then were also proven wrong. \u201cJobs multiplied by 40 to 50 times,\u201d he said, predicting that AI will generate more jobs<\/strong>, not fewer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confession: ChatGPT Changed His Workflow<\/strong>
Sharing his personal experience, the 78-year-old tech icon admitted to using ChatGPT<\/strong> for preparing lectures. The results? Transformational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat took me 30 hours now takes 5 hours,\u201d Murthy said.
He views AI tools like ChatGPT as assistive agents<\/strong> that boost human productivity<\/strong>, enabling professionals to focus on higher-order problem-solving.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What Will Change: The Way We Think<\/strong>
Murthy believes that while AI handles routine tasks, the true power of human talent<\/strong> will lie in asking better questions and defining complex problems. \u201cThe smartness is in asking the right question,\u201d he noted, underscoring the rising importance of strategic and critical thinking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thought: A Collaborative AI Future<\/strong>
For Murthy, the future workforce must blend skills<\/strong> from both management and engineering. As AI evolves, professionals who combine domain expertise with creativity<\/strong> and problem-solving abilities<\/strong> will thrive. It\u2019s not about engineers vs MBAs\u2014it\u2019s about building smart, multi-skilled teams<\/strong> for an intelligent world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
