Infosys Founders Narayana and Sudha Murthy Share Heartwarming Stories of Love and Legacy on The Kapil Sharma Show

Infosys founder Narayana Murthy and celebrated author-philanthropist Sudha Murthy graced The Kapil Sharma Show on Saturday, sharing anecdotes from their lives that charmed the audience. Known for their impactful contributions to India’s technology, business, and social sectors, the couple opened up about their journey together and recounted memorable moments from their past.

In a lighthearted moment on the show, Sudha Murthy shared an amusing story about Narayana’s first meeting with her father. She recalled, "He arrived two hours late to meet my father for the first time as his taxi broke down. My father was asking me what he does and other questions. And he came and told him that he wanted to join politics and open an orphanage. My father always thought that I was a prize because at that time not many women did engineering. And he came late thinking he would impress my father." She added that her father, a stickler for punctuality, wasn’t initially impressed by Narayana’s delayed arrival.

Narayana Murthy, reflecting on the incident, admitted that he had a bit of a playful side back then, saying, "I had a little playfulness in me at that time. I was like, ‘okay, let him be angry.’ I was a little bit adventurous." He then recounted their initial meeting, sharing that meeting Sudha was like “a breath of fresh air,” and complimented her for her positivity, kindness, and talkativeness. “She wanted a good listener... So, she was happy, and I was happy,” he remarked.

The Murthys, who are now icons in Indian society, have dedicated much of their lives to philanthropy. Narayana Murthy, co-founder of Infosys, played a pivotal role in transforming India’s IT industry, while Sudha Murthy, an acclaimed writer and the chairperson of the Infosys Foundation, has made lasting contributions in areas like education, healthcare, and rural development. Through her literary works, often based on real-life experiences, Sudha Murthy continues to inspire readers across generations.

Their appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show not only highlighted their personal journey but also celebrated their decades-long partnership, defined by mutual respect, shared values, and a shared commitment to giving back to society.
