Sudha Murthy of Infosys
Simplicity is the best jewellery she wears. She is simple yet dynamic. She is a revolutionary yet obedient. She is bold yet humble.
She pursued engineering in the 1960s when engineering was not a woman’s cup of tea.
She joined TELCO; an Automobile company in the 1970s under which application advertisement is written ‘Ladies need not apply’.
Her father R.H Kulkarni was a doctor cum Professor and her mother; Vimla Kulkarni was a school teacher. Her family was extremely studies-oriented. This was the reason Sudha despite being a girl child pursued Engineering when getting an education for a girl was even a matter of disbelief.
She pursued Engineering from B.V.B College of Engineering & Technology in 1972. In 1974, she pursued M.E in Computer Science from the Indian Institute of Science. She received received Gold medal in both of her degrees B.E and M.E.
At the age of 29, she visited the U.S.A all alone to publish her first book. Sudha has dedicated her first book to her husband cum friend Narayana Murthy. Her works are a mirror of her heart and mind. Some of the books are translated into English and some are translated into TV series.
It won’t be wrong to speak that Sudha Murthy is the MOTHER of the Infosys. She has nurtured and brought up the company like a mother. Sudha has sacrificed her pleasures. She has invested her time which has given her triple returns on the name of Infosys. A mother does everything for her child selflessly so does Sudha Murthy has done.
Truly Sudha Murthy story is an idol for millions and an inspiration for trillions.
