C-DOT brought about the first big revolution in Indian
telecom by making telecom equipment cheaper for the state-owned operator in
general. The whole credit for this goes to G B Meemasi.
Arguably, some of the management principles that we are
seeing in the large IT services companies in India today owe their origin to
C-DOT. Never before had there been such a motivated workforce of young engineers
who wanted to bring about a big change in India, let alone in the government
sector. This motivating force is Meemansi's major contribution.
He also introduced the outsourcing idea to the C-DOT. His model of licensing
was almost like an open-source to anyone who had capability and was interested.
That is the single-most reason behind C-DOT's success. He is also credited
with connectiing C-DOT to media quite often to make people aware of what was
happening inside the closed doors. No doubt, Meemansi, arguably, is India's
most prominent unsung hero of telecom.
