Infosys@40 – A success story that inspires millions

From an idea germinated in a one-bedroom apartment to a multinational with a market capitalisation of over $70 billion, annual revenue of around $17 billion and 3,45,000 employees – Infosys is a story that fits an entry into every B-School textbook. Seven engineers, hailing mostly from lower-middle-class backgrounds had a dream of building a world-class IT services firm. And after four decades, that dream – named Infosys – is a technology giant, serving most Fortune 500 companies across the world, credited with a gold standard in corporate governance. As Infosys commemorates four decades of its existence, founders N R Narayana Murthy, Nandan M Nilekani, S Gopalakrishnan, S D Shibulal, and K Dinesh took a trip down memory lane at its sprawling campus in the IT capital of the country.
