The Infosys ‘Murthy’
The
practical and pragmatic Narayana Murthy is the most admired CEO
according to a survey conducted by Taylor Nelson Sofres Mode.
The person who is linked up with the Infosys fame has some fine
qualities that make him the man he is. Narayana Murthy’s
name is synonymous with the successful Indian software industry
that handles over 25 percent of software development for Fortune
500 companies.
Humble
beginnings
Starting out in 1981 with US$ 250, Infosys has grown exponentially
to reach a Market Capitalisation in NASDAQ alone of over US$ 27billion.
One
of the main reasons for this progress is the sound management
skill of Narayana Murthy that has held Infosys together for the
last two decades. Infosys
started out with a strong strategy and took nothing for granted.
It preferred to follow the zero-based decision method- avoiding
all previous biases while making an important decision. Narayana
Murthy tapped into the low cost talent available in the Indian
IT market and used it to his advantage, and now serves a loyal
clientele 90% of which are overseas.

Repeat performance is what Infosys believes in. The Customer service
is given top priority at Infosys that makes it retain its market
share. The result- customers keep coming back and over 90% of
Infosys’ clients are repeat customers. Narayana Murthy considers
Human Resources as the greatest asset of the company. The “mutually
exclusive but collectively exhaustive” rule applies to all
teams in order to solve all problems and minimise outsourcing
of any sort of development needs.
Narayana
Murthy believes in applying the principles he practices to his
personal life and his business governance practices. Infosys has
pioneered the Employee Stock Options in India and Narayana Murthy
believes in sharing his wealth with his employees turning some
into millionaires, thus increasing employee retention.
Despite
the fact that he was a man of small beginnings, Narayana Murthy
has not stayed there. He has a closely knit family still believes
in frugal living. Narayana Murthy has fulfilled his desire of
creating the opportunity for quality employment in society increasing
the quality of life and making a difference in the Indian software
industry.
