Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has singled out “erroneous policies” pursued by successive governments at the Centre for constraining India’s massive potential to lead in the hardware sector.
“Though India has made rapid strides in the software sector, it lags in the hardware sector,” Murthy said here last night while speaking at a felicitation programme.
The 69-year-old IT czar was conferred with the lifetime Achievement Award by the Nagpur chapter of the Engineers Forum on the occasion of Engineers Day celebrations.
“Though India had the potential to lead the world, it had lost this precious opportunity in the past following erroneous policies pursued by successive governments at the Centre at that time,” Murthy said.
