Murthy plans investor call this evening

Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy will talk to investors and analysts in a conference call arranged by broker Investec India on Wednesday evening.

Murthy is expected to speak on issues related to the ongoing leadership crisis at Infosys sparked by the exit of its CEO, Vishal Sikka.

This will be his first interaction with investors since Sikka's resignation on Friday.

Analysts said Murthy's comments in the conference call will be closely watched as the founders and the board gear up for a boardroom battle.

Meanwhile, Infosys board members are likely to meet institutional investors in the next few weeks to drum up support.
