Murthy, Premji concerned over policy paralysis

Amid growing perceptions of policy paralysis, top industry leaders have come down heavily on the current state of affairs in the economy, saying that India's image seems to have taken a hit.

Top business leader N R Narayana Murthy, co-founder of home-grown global IT giant Infosys, has said, ‘Over the past 3-4 months, India's image seems to have suffered. As an Indian, I feel very sad that we have come to this state.’

Another IT major Wipro's chairman Azim Premji has said that ‘we are working without a leader as a country. If we do not change, we would be down for years.’

The comments from the two leaders come amid warning from the global agency Standard and Poor's that India risks losing its 'investment grade' rating due to 'slowing GDP growth and political roadblocks to economic policy making'.

‘Unfortunately, we have created these challenges ourselves. It is self-inflicted. There is nothing coming from outside. The good news is we can correct it. We have done enough damage but could end up doing more damage,’ he said.

Premji also made his comments during a conference call with equity analysts on Monday.
