Infosys founder Narayana Murthy too has said that he feels sad about the state of affairs in the economy. In an interview to Morgan Stanley Research, he says, "There was huge expectation. There was a lot of confidence that India would indeed do whatever was necessary because the person who was the face of economic reforms in 1991 is our current Prime Minister. In the opinion of foreign well-wishers of India, we have reached our nadir since 1991," he said.
