Second Part
Work Life



After completing his Master’s in IIT Kanpur, he moved to London where he worked in a company called SESA for 3 years. While working, he excelled in designing software for air freight management. At that time he decided to return to India to start his own company.

In 1976 he joined IIM Ahmedabad as chief system programmer where he designed and developed BASIC interpreter for Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL). At that time he started his first entrepreneurial venture called Softronics, a software consulting firm in Pune but the company failed.  

Later he joined Patni Computer System. The startup failure did not affect him, he thought it as learning experience. During his work, he met his soulmate Sudha Murthy and fell in love with her. They both got married in Narayana’s Bangalore house with just a cost ₹700

While working in Patni, he gain felt the urge to get back into entrepreneurship. He strongly felt that he was meant for it and this was the right time too. But to start the company he didn’t have the money. His wife Sudha Murthy at first was not interested in this idea of leaving a monthly salary job to start a own company. Though Narayana’s will to start a company didn’t change. Where did it bring him again to Sudha for money…

Now Sudha’s mind changed and thought of helping him. She decided to give him  ₹10,000 that she saved for all these days and she said that she will handle the financial needs for the house for 3 years and don’t need to worry about it. Yeah she is a strong women.

Sudha Murthy is a strong and confident women who was pillar to Narayana Murthy’s success. In late 70’s there was an advertisement for work from Tata Telco company which said “Women need not to apply for the specified job”. After reading that advertisement she felt heartbreaking for judging the women’s capability. So she wrote a letter to the chairman of Tata Group JRD TATA.

After reading the letter JRD Tata was so surprised by Sudha’s courage and open mindset. Later he gave work to Sudha in same Tata Telco company.
