Excerpts from CNBC-TV18's exclusive interview with NR Narayanamurthy:

Q: One of the reasons that compelled you to start Infosys in 1981 was that you wanted to experiment with your version of the enterprise, entrepreneurship, capitalism and it was your rejection of Leftism, socialism and economic system. Take us through why that intellectual premise occurred.

SANJAY K. JHA


BJP leaders said despite breaching the southern barrier, the party was dogged by a sense of insecurity as it had not won a simple majority on its own.



New Delhi, June 6: The BJP, buoyed by the trust vote victory in Karnataka today, has decided to play a new game: split H.D. Deve Gowda's flock and beef up its bench strength.

The party had fallen short of three seats in the House of 224 and had to seek the support of six Independents to make the magic number. Five of them have been made ministers but the BJP is not confident about how committed they are.

CHENNAI: Nearly Rs 2,500 crore was up for grabs on Sunday as the IPL final between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals kept bookies across the country on their toes.


"For bookmakers in Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore and Agra (the major centres for betting), this was a mega event. Nearly Rs 2,500 crore was at stake, with almost Rs 300 crore from Chennai. It is estimated that a total of Rs 20,000 crore was wagered during the 44 days of IPL matches," a cricket broker told The Times Of India.


Speculation was high for Rajasthan Royals after their 12 victories in the Twenty-20 matches played in the Indian Premier Leagues, but Chennai Super Kings emerged as favourites for bookmakers across India after their stunning victory in the semi-final against Kings Punjab XI.
