While wealthy individuals often step out of airports with 4-5 bags, Sudha Murthy was seen carrying only a small bag, which she casually slung over her shoulder.
New Delhi: From Mukesh Ambani to Gautam Adani, India is home to several world-known industrialists who are known not only for their wealth and fame but also for their simplicity. One such couple is Narayan Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys, and his wife Sudha Murthy. This couple is well-known for their down-to-earth nature. Although this couple owns billions of rupees, their lifestyle has always been simple.
On several occasions, the simplicity of this couple has made headlines. Once again, Sudha Murthy’s simplicity is grabbing attention. She recently arrived to attend the ongoing Mahakumbh in Prayagraj. While wealthy individuals often step out of airports with 4-5 bags, Sudha Murthy was seen carrying only a small bag, which she casually slung over her shoulder.
Talking to the media, Sudha Murthy said, “I am very excited to be in the king of pilgrimages, Prayagraj. This Maha Kumbh has come after 144 years, so I am very hopeful and happy. She mentioned that she has come to the Maha Kumbh for three days.”
Here are some of the key details:
- Sudha Murthy is the wife of Narayan Murthy and a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha
- Narayan Murthy is a billionaire businessman
- Despite his wealth and power, he is not known for arrogance about money or authority.
- Narayan Murthy and Sudha Murthy together have a net worth of Rs 36,690 crore, yet they prefer to live a life full of simplicity.
- It is interesting to note that in the last 30 years, Sudha Murthy has never bought a saree with her own money.
- Sudha Murthy, who owns assets worth Rs 775 crore, is often seen in a simple saree.
- According to Forbes, Narayan Murthy’s net worth is USD 5 billion (Rs 43,192,92,46,500), while the market capitalization of his company, Infosys, is Rs 7 trillion higher.
However, there is a specific reason behind it. Sudha Murthy explained the spiritual belief behind this. During her visit to Kashi, she decided to give up something she was very fond of. She loved sarees the most. Since then, she has not bought any new sarees, so most of her sarees have been gifts.
