Infosys started as a small Indian company by a group of seven highly intellectual engineers with an initial investment of Rs. 10000 ($250) each, has now grown into Rs.15, 000 crores ($3750 million) multinational company.
His life teaches us how to succeed in life and a guidance in character formation.
During his childhood, Mr. Narayana Moorthy was motivated about the importance of education by his parents. His father would often quote to him, “Only education will help you in your later life”.
During his college days, his interaction with an American computer scientist helped him to identify the opportunity India has in the software industry. He usually worked nearly 20 hours a day to gain ideas about computer technology.
A group of engineers in “Patni Computers” (a company where Narayana Moorthy worked initially before starting Infosys), got interested in Narayana Moorthy's attitude and his competence, joined with him to start a software company. This led to the birth of Infosys.
Initially Infosys faced with many difficulties because of the economical restrictions prevailing in Indian market at late eighties. But, after 1992, where trade policies were relaxed in India during Mr. Narashima Rao (then Prime Minister of India) regime, Infosys started to grow in exponential rate.
With highly new management techniques introduced by Narayana Moorthy, Infosys became a Multi-national company. He introduced ideas like distribution of company’s shares to his employees, by which workers were motivated to work harder, employee friendly approach, priority towards the marketing side etc,
Even though, he was listed as one of the richest person in the India, still he lives in an apartment in Bangalore which is managed by him and his wife, Mrs. Sudha Moorthy. He is a strict follower of Gandian Principles. Mr. Narayana Moorthy feels, “Money we earn, once satisfies our basic needs, the excess amount we gained should be utilised for the development of indigent people”. So, he started Infosys Foundation with Mrs. Sudha Moorthy as its head. This foundation helps in uplifting village environment by providing better school and library facilities, basic amenities to the needy etc,
Narayana Moorthy advises young minds as follows, “Develop world class talents in a particular field, then world will accolade you and lay down its riches in your feet”. He believes students with fresh minds, can revolutionize the society with their creativity.
But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and
build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you." - Amelia Earhart
