Indian news that made headlines 2013

Indian IT industry's poster 'boy' Narayana Murthy once again took over the reins at Infosys this year to bring the IT bellwether back on track.

Describing his return as "very unusual", Murthy, 67, said the company was facing challenging times.

He came back at a time when Infosys has performed below market expectations and has struggled to retain clients in North America and Europe. The firm has over the last two years lost its IT bellwether status to Tata Consultancy Services, the country's largest software services exporter.
