Towards the Ardhanareeshwara Model

The new millennium is a time for growth and promise for women managers. It is a time when the ‘Complete Man’ is allowed to cuddle babies and shed tears. The sharp man/woman divide, the Mars/Venus chasm has been miraculously bridged by the challenge of the times. It is a time to build partnerships and collaboration.

The answers bridge the radical divide that separates the Indian heritage from the cyber world of the future. That unimaginable time had finally arrived on the doorstep of corporate history when the Mind is far move relevant than all the other Ms—materials, machine, market methods and money. All of them surrender before the implacable application of the Mind. The Mind is neither male nor female. To be ‘ardhanareeshwara’ is the challenge all human beings today. This is why the ratio of men to women in the IT industry begins to approach that magical figure of perfect collaboration, fifty-fifty.

Bill Gates, the richest man in the world and author of At the Speed of Thought, is a symbol of this crucial shift. It has enabled him to create unimaginable wealth by the sheer application of the Mind.
