Sonia Gandhi heaps praise on Infosys, calls it better than world's best

While inaugurating the Global Education Centre-II (GEC-II) of India's second largest software exporter in Mysore on Tuesday, Gandhi, who is the chairperson of the ruling coalition government, said Infosys was a stunning reminder of what Indian talent, ingenuity, competence and hard work could accomplish.

According to Gandhi, Infosys has proved that not only Indian companies could match with the world's best but at times were far ahead of them.

"It's a pleasure to be on this beautiful campus. It has a marvellous setting for a university to train and educate young minds," Gandhi said.

"Infosys is synonymous with making Bangalore India's Silicon Valley. Coming up of GEC is testimony that India too can have world-class education centres. Success of the Infosys is because of its hard work, dedication, willing to sacrifice attitude, coupled with talent and an enabling environment at the company.," she added.

Gandhi also complimented Infosys mentor N.R. Narayana Murthy and his team for changing the lives of millions of Indians and propelling the country's economy to a record-breaking growth and making Infosys the envy of the world. "You have shown to India and the world that an Indian company cannot just be world class, but be ahead of the rest of the world," she said.
