Murthy declines Infosys' shareholders offer for rejoining

Infosys shareholders on Monday made a strong pitch for the return of co-founder Narayana Murthy to the company once again, which the IT czar declined by calling it words of ‘affection’.Successive shareholders who spoke at the 34th Annual General Meeting of Infosys suggested that he should be brought back to the firmas his name is synonymous with Infosys.

“Take back Murthy as independent Director in the interest of the company,” Gopalkrishna Rao, a shareholder said. This was Infosys' first AGM without any of its founders on the board or associated with the functioning of the company in any way. Murthy attended AGM as a shareholder and was accompanied by his wife Sudha Murthy and son Rohan Murty.
