A jury comprising Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy, President and Chairman, Sparta Group Gururaj ‘Desh’ Deshpande and others selected Bill Gates for the award.
“His contributions are invaluable and it will be impossible to list them out. But the greatest, we at TiE feel is, that his work in computing has empowered anyone who uses a PC. His work has impacted the way the world works.” Mahavir Sharma, TiE Global Chair, has said.
