Narayana Murthy was offered job by companies like Air India, TELCO, TISCO, etc., but he rejected all these job offers and decided to work at IIM Ahmedabad.
For context, it is important to note that Rishi Sunak s wife Akshata Murthy is a businesswoman and the heiress and daughter of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy.
Later, at the end of 1977, when Murthy took up the position as General Manager at Patni computers and wanted to marry Sudha before going to the US on a training project, Sudha s father gave his consent to the union, satisfied by Murthy s steady income. The two tied the knot on February 10, 1978, in Murthy s house in Bangalore. Their wedding was a simple affair. In fact, as per interviews, the whole ceremony cost 800 wherein both pitched in equal amount.
A few years later in 1981, Murthy realized his big dream which turned out to be the beginning for Infosys. Murthy s passion to create good quality software was strong. However, it was held back due to lack of capital. This is where Sudha came in the picture again. The saying, Behind everyone successful man, there is a woman could not be any true for this couple.
