Narayana Murthy, chief mentor and chairman of the board of Infosys Technologies, has withdrawn from being the IT advisor to the Sri Lankan Government, said the company in a statement released today.
In a letter, Murthy thanked Mahinda Rajapaksa, President of Sri Lanka for inviting him to be the IT advisor. However, due to personal reasons Murthy decided to withdraw. Last week in a bid to increase investments into the IT sector Sri Lankan Government had announced the appointment of Murthy as the international adviser on IT.
