K K Natarajan, CEO & MD of Mindtree Ltd, says: "The extent of BJP’s victory with a large margin is surprising. However, this decisive mandate gives the government the go ahead to push away the bottlenecks that are hindering economic growth. The people of India can now expect to get back to the earlier 7-8% growth path.''
On being queried as to what were the factors that fuelled certain victory for the BJP and Narendra Modi, he said: “The indecisiveness of the government impacted the overall environment and also affected the common man as inflation continued for 2-3 years. The exposing of high profile scams such as the 2G and coalgate scams made people realise that all was not well with the government. Rising levels of inflation that pinched the pocket coupled with the disillusionment of the people with the increasing number of scams in the country, is what pushed people to vote for a change.”
Ashok Soota- Founder and Executive Chairman, Happiest Minds, says: “People were debating whether we have a wave or not. It turned out to be a tsunami!”
