Vaccination: Modi showed he was true leader, says NR Narayana Murthy

Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy said he was very inspired by prime minister Narendra Modi visiting the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi to receive his first dose of vaccine which, he said, was a good example of leadership.

"The prime minister demonstrated he is a true leader," Murthy told ET, while sharing the experience of receiving the first dose of covishield, along with wife Sudha Murty, at Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru. Sudha Murty heads Infosys Foundation, the CSR arm of Infosys.

"Sudha and I got registered today, and went to friend Dr Devi Shetty's NH. Everything went off well for us. We felt very nice today," the Infosys founder said. "We will visit for our second dose 28 days from now," he added.


As for stepping out after completing the two-course vaccination, Murthy said they will go by the advice of experts. "We will, of course, continue to wear the mask."
