Coimbatore Krishnarao Prahalad is no more
C K Prahalad, a leader amongst modern thinkers is no more. It was shocking to me when I first saw a ticker tape news message below my 9:00 o'clock news today Morning. Having spent almost 7 years in Coimbatore myself, I remember missing a lecture by him at the Lakshmi Mills premises when I was in SI Viscose. Karthikeyan, my dear friend, had filled me in with CK's greatness and yet, somehow, I had missed the talk. in 2009, I picked up my first CK Prahalad book, The New Age of Innovation. I was instantly hooked onto his R=G and N=1 concepts. Greatness in such simple terms was almost startling. I for one, will surely miss CK. May his soul rest in peace.
