Suddenly two self-appointed brand ambassadors of India's war against corruption are on the defensive. Father Shanti Bhushan and son Prashant have spent their lives cultivating the persona of crusaders against governments, corporate houses and corrupt politicians on behalf of "we the people".
The well-promoted Bhushan legend peaked during the campaign by Anna Hazare against corruption and for the appointment of a Czar of Integrity, a Lokpal who would wave a stern wand and eliminate sleaze. But their reputation began to unravel when a CD began to circulate, with a recorded conversation between Shanti Bhushan and politicians Amar Singh and Mulayam Singh Yadav.

Can information technology be transformational? Without doubt, yes. And here are 20 examples to prove it. Among them: a poultry firm that's using IT to lower costs and get to the market faster; an eye hospital that's handling a flood of patients without breaking a sweat; an IT institute that's wired to the core; and even an NGO that's using DVDs to take quality instruction to village schools. Like last year (this is our fifth listing of Most Wired Companies), we spoke to a variety of technology experts and vendors to compile the list of 20 most savvy users of IT in the country. Companies or institutions that have featured in any of our previous three listings were excluded, and those with the most imagination and not necessarily the biggest IT budget selected.
