Narayana Murthy was an engineer working at a tech company when he saw the immense potential for software exports from India. With six others and very little capital, he co‑founded Infosys in 1981. Early days were tough—clients doubted India’s ability to deliver world‑class software, and funds were so tight Murthy used his own salary to pay staff. A turning point came when Infosys secured its first foreign contract, building trust overseas. Murthy’s story shows that integrity, hard work, and a global vision can build a company that redefined Indian tech on the world stage.
