According to him, one either espouses the values set by oneself or the company he or she works for or one doesn’t. “Let there be no shades of grey while following your values.”

Karnik, who received the IT Person of the Year Award called for the rotation of statutory auditors and appointment of truly independent directors to protect the interests of small shareholders.
