Tribute to C K Prahalad

So much has been written about CKP and, quite honestly, I have learnt more about him after his death than during his lifetime, which is purely my fault. One saying from CKP published in the masthead of The Economic Times on Sunday “Be concerned about due process. People seek fairness, not favours…they often don’t even mind if decisions don’t go their way as long as the process is fair and transparent” was truly a gem. In today’s competitive world where students vye for limited seats, IPL matches are bid for and even tenders and lotteries are won and lost, his wisdom is so relevant.
