NR Narayana Murthy’s big regret is refusing wife from joining Infosys

Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy has expressed regret that he did not let his family members, especially wife Sudha Murthy, join the IT giant he helped set up more than four decades ago.

Calling himself “wrongly idealistic”, Murthy said in an interview with CNBC-TV18 that his wife was “more, or as qualified as” the seven engineers (including himself) who helped establish Infosys, creating one of the earliest successful startups in India after liberalisation.
