Narayana Murthy credits Nilekani, Parekh for reviving Infosys post-Vishal Sikka crisis in 2017; says he has renounced interest in the business world. Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy said Nandan Nilekani, Co-founder, and Chairman, and Salil Parekh, the CEO, deserve credit and gratitude for turning around the company's trajectory post-2017. Without taking names, Murthy was referring to the exit of Vishal Sikka who resigned as the company’s Managing Director and CEO in August 2017. Sikka's three-year stint at Infosys was marred by disagreements between the company’s founders and the board. “I thank Nandan Nilekani and Salil Parekh for reviving the company in 2017 and accelerating growth for the last five years. What has happened between 2017 and today is truly extraordinary. We all have been watching it with the administration and are all so proud of what these two have achieved,” he said at a media event marking its four decades of existence.
