The audience, comprising top business leaders and influencers, was enthralled by the tender gesture, which reflected the deep bond between the couple, celebrated for their shared contributions to philanthropy and societal progress.
While the musical interlude was a highlight, Murthy also spoke about the urgent need for job creation in India, particularly in low-tech sectors. He emphasised the importance of fostering economic inclusivity to realise the dreams of the nation’s founding fathers.
Murthy advocated an export-driven strategy to generate employment, drawing parallels with successful models in countries like China and Vietnam. “Given that the disposable income of India is rather low, we have to focus on exports,” he said.
He emphasised the need for India to enhance its global competitiveness by streamlining decision-making and adopting a management-oriented approach.
