“It is difficult to believe we are in India,” the finance minister gushed. “This could be the Silicon Valley in California, this could be the Rouen region in France, this could be Stuttgart, this could be any town in Australia. It is not even in a capital city, but in a place of great history and a greater future. But we are proud that this is India, we are proud that the makers of this dream are here with us and let me begin by congratulating Narayana Murthy and those who founded Infosys 25 years ago,” the finance minister went on.
He said that the Infosys campus was a great place for education, training and, perhaps, romance. “I have not seen a more romantic environment than this in the last many years,” he said and added tongue-in-cheek, “every challenge must be converted into an opportunity.” Much merriment rippled through the gathering.
