Bengaluru, Oct 10 (PTI) Losing “dear friend” Tata Sons Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata is “very painful”, IT industry veteran and Infosys co founder N R Narayana Murthy on Thursday said as he acknowledged that he was a role model for him in value-based leadership.
“He (Tata) was indeed a moral compass for me whenever I had some ambiguity and confusion in ethical issues,” the 78-year-old said.
After conferring an honour on Tata in 2020, the software icon had bent down to touch his feet and sought his blessings.
“Losing a dear friend like Ratan is very painful. Ratan was a role model for me in value-based leadership,” Murthy said in his condolence message.
