| India's telecom architect |
 |
Born in Orissa and educated in Vadodara and Chicago, Sam Pitroda, owes both his fame and infamy to his proximity to the Gandhi family.
|
|
When Indira Gandhi invited him in 1984 from the US to set up C-DOT, nobody realized the arrival of the architect of India's telecom revolution. |
|
The PCO revolution scripted during this tenure was, unarguably, because of Pitroda's tireless efforts. |
|
Has been appointed the chairman of Knowledge Commission by Manmohan Singh, but was embroiled in the hullabaloo over reservations in premier institutions. |
|
Pitroda is a successful inventor and entrepreneur in his own right owning over 50 patents related to m-commerce and is also the founder of C-SAM. |
