FC Kohli
Father of Indian software

Kohli started off as an engineer with Tata Power Company and rose through the ranks to become the deputy general manager.

Was offered the reigns of Tata's fledgling IT company, TCS, in 1969.
Over the next two decades and more Kohli shaped the destiny of TCS.
He was the first to talk about Tandem, first to import an IBM 3090, to maintain that mainframes are not dead, and to question the openness of open systems-even before most of the world addressed these concerns.

He continues to work on projects that will spread computing in the country, and in recent years has been focussing on hardware and microelectronics.
Widely credited as the father of Indian Software Industry, Fakir Chand Kohli has secured a place in the Indian IT annals of history.
