NARAYAN MURTHY

                                                                                   

                            CEO of infosys

Narayana Murthy was born on August 20, 1946, in Mysore, Karnataka. He came from a poor but an educated family. From his childhood days, Narayana Murthy was academically brilliant. He was passionate about Mathematics and Physics and always had the thirst and the desire to gain more knowledge in these fields. 
 Hence, he pursued a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Mysore and later, received his Master’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. Narayana Murthy began his career as a chief systems programmer at IIM Ahmedabad. He then started a company called Softronics, which failed after 1.5 years of its inception. 
 
Despite the failures he encountered at an early age, he did not give up his dream of being an entrepreneur. He learnt from his previous mistakes and decided to start afresh in 1981. That year, he, together with six software professionals, put together Rs 10,000 to create a company called Infosys. 

Today, Narayana Murthy is listed as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time, alongside Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. In 2000, he was awarded Padma Shri by the Government of India for his significant contribution to the country’s IT sector and economy. In 2008, he was awarded Padma Vibhushan, India’s second highest civilian award. In 2011, when Narayana Murthy took retirement, the company went through tumultuous times. Cost-cutting was evident and the performance of the company deteriorated. On June 1, 2013, Narayana Murthy was called out of retirement to lead the company once again. Narayana Murthy, who will turn 67 this year, has taken up the challenge to bring the company back on its feet. He has taken up the positions of an Additional Director and the Executive Chairman of the Board with the company. And he is working closely with the top management to come up with incentives such as giving higher salaries to top performers to improve the performance of the company.

See Mr. Murthy's view point to be a perfect leader:
 
                                                             
                   

 
This is a true example of commitment and dedication. Even after his retirement, Narayana Murthy is willing to sacrifice his luxuries to revive the company.
