The award will be presented to Nilekani by Yale University President Richard C. Levin at the Yale CEO Leadership Summit of The Chief Executive Leadership Institute. The summit will convene one hundred world-renowned business leaders in New Delhi on November 5 and 6 to discuss the theme of 'Navigating the Global Oceans of Opportunity for Indian Business.' Nilekani, who co-founded Infosys in 1981 and served as CEO from 2002 to 2007, holds the rank of cabinet minister as the first chairman of the Indian government's newly created Unique Identification Database Authority. The universal ID card is expected to help ensure that most of the billions of dollars India and other organizations spend on aid reach the people for whom it was intended. Today, Indians use a wide variety of documents to prove their identities, such as state-issued driver's licenses, ration cards used for food purchases at government-run stores and a tax identification card that is akin to the American Social Security card. In 2009, Time magazine placed Nilekani on the Time 100 list of the 'World's Most Influential People.' He is the inspiration for New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman's book The World Is Flat. Nilekani's own book, Imagining India, dissected a range of political, economic and social issues confronting the country. In 2006, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan, one of the highest civilian honors awarded by the Government of India.
