11. ๏ N.R.Narayana Murthy

without dropping his ethical precepts by
the wayside is Nagawara Ramarao
Narayana Murthy, Chairman of Infosys.

schoolteacher in Kolar district, Karnataka,
India. A bright student, Murthy went on to
acquire a degree in Electrical Engineering
from Mysore University and later studied
Computer Science at the IIT, Kanpur,
India.

1981 when Narayana Murthy
dreamt of forming his own
company, along with six
friends. There was a minor
hitch, though-he didn't have
any seed money. Luckly, like
many Indian women who
save secretly without their
husband's knowledge, his
wife Sudha-then an engineer
with Tatas-had saved Rs
10,000. This was Murthy's
first big break.

the couple lived in a one-room house. The second
break came in 1991 when Indian doors to
liberalization were flung openโฆ Murthy grabbed
the opportunity with both hands and has never
looked back ever since. Today, Infosys is the first
Indian company to be listed on the US NASDAQ.
