Sudha Murthy reveals the mistakes that Narayana Murthy made when he met her father for the first time

Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy recently appeared on The Great Indian Kapil Show. He was accompanied by his wife Sudha Murthy along with Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal and his wife Grecia Munoz. During the episode, the two candidly shared an anecdote when Narayana Murthy failed to impress Sudha’s father on first meeting.

Narayana Murthy arrived two hours late

Sharing the incident, Sudha said “He (Narayana) arrived two hours late to meet my father for the first time as his taxi broke down.”

“My father was asking me what he does and other questions. And he came and told him that he wanted to join politics and open an orphanage. My father always thought that I was a prize because at that time not many women did engineering. And he came late thinking he would impress my father,” she said.

Adding to the story, Narayan shared, “I had a little playfulness in me at that time. I was like, ‘okay, let him be angry’. I was a little bit adventurous”.
