Passage:
N R Narayan Murthy, co-founder of iconic information technology (IT) exporter Infosys, has been an inspiration to generations. He tells youngsters: "In God we trust. Everybody else brings data to the table."
Son of a schoolteacher, he never gives up on these lessons. The tussle between the founders and the board of the IT exporter that saw chief executive Vishal Sikka resign on Friday might have its seed in Murthy's trust in data over any individual.
"The board (of directors) is profoundly distressed by the unfounded personal attacks on the members of our management team that were made in anonymous letters and have surfaced in recent months," said the company. "As the board has previously stated, a series of careful investigations found no merit to the unsubstantiated and anonymous allegations that had been asserted. The board denounces the critics who have amplified and sought to further promote demonstrably false allegations which have harmed employee morale and contributed to the loss of the company's valued CEO."
The statement has not really helped investors who have been demanding pointed rebuttals of a whistle-blower's detailed allegations of impropriety in a $200-million acquisition of Israeli automation-tech specialist Panaya in 2015. Murthy is the co-founder who is blamed for the "continuous drumbeat of distractions and negativity" that Sikka gave as reason for his resignation.
