Middle managers acts a router will not longer require in IT industry

Ethiraj: Are you also being self critical of your middle management?

Kurien: I think that’s true. It’s not middle management by itself and I wouldn’t define middle management very clearly. There’s middle management that really adds to technology and I think that’s fabulous to have. We absolutely need those guys. And those are people we really treasure.

There are other people who just manage people and that’s the game that you don’t want in the future. Because, having a person who sits as a router, routing traffic from one end to the other, communicating upward and managing downwards is not a function that you require long term. That particular skill set is not going to be required any more.
