I was excited to know that Nandan Nilekani outsourcing guru and co-founder of Infosys is going to co-host along with CNBC-TV18’s Shireen Bhan a weekly series discussing everything from India’s infrastructure to India’s role in Globalization.   After writing the best seller ‘Imagining India‘, he is using TV to further his vision of India.  The Imagining India select panel will include business professionals, venture capitals, economists, writers and sociologists.

Thomas Friedman highlighting Nandan Nilekani’s unique skill has said  “Seattle has Bill Bangalore has Nandan. What makes Nilekani unique? For me it comes down to one phrase: great explainer”.   No wonder Nandan is taking his communication skill to the airways. To know more about the Imagining India Series please click here.

Bill Gates of Microsoft resigned from his Chairmanship to take on a bigger social responsibility to conquer AIDS and Malaria in the world.  Nandan Nilekani resigned today as a co-chairman of Infosys to be appointed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to head a new agency as Chairman of Unique Identification Authority of India.  Nandan is donning many hats being economist, entrepreneur, socialist, mentor, and above all a socially responsible citizen of India.
