Corporate Guru Narayan Murthy (Hindi Edition)

Infosys astonishing growth is attributed to the imagination and vision of Mr. N.M. Narayana Murthy. He nurtured the companys growth with his talent, dedication, and hard work as its Chief Executive Officer for twenty years. When he founded the company in 1981 with ten thousand rupees from his wife, Mrs. Sudha Murthy, no one could have imagined that by 1999, its fame would reach international levels and the company would be listed on Nasdaq. A little sense of the adverse circumstances under which Narayana Murthy developed his company can be gauged from the fact that he had to wait an entire year for a telephone connection. He had to visit an STD shop to make a phone call. In those days, computers were imported. It took Infosys three years to import computers from abroad for its work. It was Narayana Murthy who had the courage to pull the company out of a whirlpool of troubles and bring it to the pinnacle of success. The company he founded with seven people now has over 100,000 employees. The company, which began with a mere ten thousand rupees in capital, now has annual revenues (fiscal year 2009) of over twenty thousand crore rupees. Need I say more? An inspirational book not only for entrepreneurs but also for the general public.
