'Academic Gain, RBI Loss': India Inc 'Saddened' By Raghuram Rajan's Exit
New Delhi: Top industry leaders have said RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan's decision not to take a second term will be "nation's loss".
  • India was lucky to have had the services of an outstanding economist like Rajan as the Governor of RBI. His performance was acclaimed not just in India but throughout the world. Experts in economics agree on that. I hope his leaving will not make other green card holders of Indian origin in the US and Indian permanent residents of other countries less confident about adding value to India.

  • I have already commented that we must acknowledge that Governor Rajan substantially improved India's International credibility. However we mustn't give the impression that there isn't sufficient talent in the country to succeed him and sustain India's credibility.
