At international level he is direct competition to Sri Lankan software firms.

Should one appoint one’s competitor as an advisor?

This is like Sri Lankan cricket team expecting blessings from Sai Baba before their match with India. Fools.

One yardstick for humanitarian affairs, another for IT. Can’t wait to see Mr. Murthy’s porn filter for Sri Lanka.
