Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka said he has always shared a "heartfelt, warm relationship" with the company's co-founder NR Narayana Murthy.

His comments come after some of the founders are raising concerns about and issues regarding his pay package and severance pay doled out to former executives, Rajiv Bansal and David Kennedy.

"My relationship with the founders? It is wonderful. I meet Mr Murthy quite frequently...I have always had a heartfelt warm relationship with Mr Murthy, probably meet him 4-5-6 times a year," Sikka told ET.

He also said that he, however, hasn't met the other founders off late and described Murthy as an "incredible man". Sikka said the two usually discussed topics like quantum physics and technology whenever they met.

"The other day he was telling me about the Paris Metro and how he worked on the Paris Metro in the 1970s before he started Infosys, and it had this whole ideas about automation and autonomous driving and all," he told ET.
