NASSCOM Chairman Krishnakumar Natarajan today said iGATE board has taken a right decision to sack its President and CEO Phaneesh Murthy over alleged sexual harassment, emphasising that a "quick and decisive" action in such incidents augurs well for the IT industry.

"A right decision has been taken. I think the decision reflects what IT industry standards for. It stands for the highest standards of governance and integrity," Natarajan told reporters on the sidelines of a NASSCOM event in Bangalore.

Natarajan said the board seems to have done a fairly thorough due deligence before taking the action. "It is a very isolated incident and has no bearing in terms of what implications it has on Indian IT industry," he said.
