The Indian software industry, Kohli, who died in 2020, constantly emphasized the need for evolution, not only in terms of learning, but also for new technology acceptance. FC Kohli, who joined TATA ELECTRIC CO in 1951 to establish the country’s first load shipping center, was requested by JRD Tata to establish TCS in 1969.

In an interview with previous MoneyControl, the technocrats who hold JRD are very high, mentioned, “changes occur continuously and not specific for one period but the way technology moves and the way people get knowledge is very different from me. Time . Educational institutions are very different from what I get and it means it’s easier today to get knowledge and then build your career. This is not the starting point with the end point. This country must update the method of education and teaching – someone must learn how to change. “

Posting posts in 1999 at the age of 75, Kohli remained quite active in the 90s as well, working on adult literacy programs in various languages, which he called “the biggest contribution” for the country. Specially designed for those who do not have previous experience in reading, the program is reported to benefit the individual in question, which leads to an increase in the overall literacy rate.

In his advice to younger cadres than CEOs and individuals, Kohli believes that the whole world is open to learning and one must continue to learn and learn for the future so that one can contribute effectively not only in the industry, but also for the country in general.

On that occasion, Mr. K. Ananth Krishnan, Head of Technology Officer said, “I have learned a lot for the past 32 years from Mr. Faqir Chand Kohli who is legendary. I often meet him while working in our office in the Indian air building in Nariman Point, in the late 1990s and In the early 2000s. He is a polite host and personally will pour tea for you when you visit his office.

He is amazingly updated on technology and is very excited about some things like Indian, computing, hardware, electronics, using technology for social good, and helps smaller academic institutions. And of course, the humor is amazing! He has done so much and inspires so many people. But there is one specific area that I will call, which is very loved by my research & innovation. He is the main driver behind TCS research and innovation arrangements. It will be my self-esteem if we can fulfill his expectations, and make his vision come alive “.
