New Delhi: Exuding confidence in the potential of the young generation to make India a worthy competitor of China, IT czar and Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy lamented that economic activities in India were stalled during UPA\u2019s regime despite the fact that Manmohan Singh, the extraordinary man was at the helm of affairs.<\/p>\n
He made this remark during interaction with students at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad. \u201cI used to be on the board of HSBC in London (between 2008 and 2012). In the first few years, when China was mentioned two to three times in the boardroom (during meetings), India\u2019s name would be mentioned once,\u201d Murthy said.<\/p>\n
Narayan Murthy during a session on the book \u201cStartup Compass\u201d with its authors at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A) stated, \u201cFor certain years (2008 to 2012) I used to be on the board of HSBC in London. In the first few years, when China was mentioned two to three times, India\u2019s name would be mentioned once.\u201d<\/p>\n
When comparing the current government with the previous UPA government, he said the country\u2019s economy suffered due to delays in taking decisions.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut unfortunately, I dont know what happened afterwards. During Manmohan Singh\u2019s government, who is an extraordinary individual, for whom I have tremendous respect, somehow India stalled. Decisions were not taken quickly, everything was delayed. And by the time I left (HSBC), if China\u2019s name was mentioned 30 times, India\u2019s name was hardly found to be mentioned once,\u201d Murthy said as he credited former PM Manmohan Singh for 1991 economic reforms.<\/p>\n
When asked where he sees India in the future, he said, \u201cIt is the responsibility of the young generation to make people mention India\u2019s name, whenever they mention any other country\u2019s name, particularly China and exuded confidence that the young generation will be able to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Praising the Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre for bringing in \u2018Make In India\u2019 and \u2018Startup India\u2019, he said, \u201cthere was a time when most people from other countries looked down upon India, but today, there is a certain level of respect for the country, which has now become the world\u2019s fifth largest economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also added, \u201cDuring the period of 1978 to 2022, i.e 44 years, China has left India behind by six times. But I do think that if all the wonderful people sitting here this side to make things happen, India too will see similar respect as China today gets it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
