N.R. Narayana Murthy, the founder of Indian tech giant, Infosys, is perhaps the Indian answer to Bill Gates. The man who started a small software company namely, Infosys, with just Rs.10,000 obtained from pawning his wife's jewellery in company of a handful of his friends, is now a proud mentor of the company. Infosys, today is one of best buisness success stories of India.
The company today houses over 85,000 employees and almost eveyone is young and vibrant graduates from premier institutes in India. Today, Infosys holds numero uno position among many IT companies in India.
Mr. Murthy is the recipient of numerous awards and honors. The Economist ranked him 8th on its list of 15 most admired global leaders in 2005. He was ranked 28th among the world's most respected business leaders by The Financial Times in 2005. In 2004, TIME magazine identified him as one of ten global leaders who are helping shape the future of technology. He was voted the “World Entrepreneur of the Year” by Ernst & Young in 2003 and as India's most powerful CEO for three consecutive years (2004 to 2006) by The Economic Times. He was chosen as the "Business Process Innovator" by The Economist in 2007.
His humble background and the towering heights that he has reached in his 26 years of hard work with Infy, is a big inspiration for all upcoming Entrepreneurs in India and also his fellow citizens.
