Narayana Murthy
Mr. Narayana Murthy is undoubtedly one of the most famous persons from Karnataka. He is known not just for building the biggest IT empire in India but also for his simplicity. Almost every important dignitary visits Infosys campus. The beauty about his family is that they believe in sharing their wealth with the needy. We wish the leading film actors in Karnataka had followed his footsteps.
He feels we need to review our reservation policy. He expressed this on Aug 11, 2001 during the convocation address at IIT, Delhi. He says perhaps we are the only nation in the world were people fight to be called backward rather than forward.
We thank him for bringing India on the world’s IT map and providing jobs to thousands. Here is his brief bio:
