After several flops, producer Ryan Murphy finally tastes success with back-to-back hits

"The real power of money is the power to give it away". The Chairman of Infosys spoke about the influence of money at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2005.

“Performance leads to recognition. Recognition brings respect. Respect enhances power. Humility and grace in one’s moments of power enhances the dignity of an organisation.” Murthy who is a recipient of Padma Vibhushan and Padma Shri is known for his business acumen and intelligence.

“Entrepreneurship is all about an idea that creates differentiated business value to one’s customers. You must be able to convince your customers about the benefits that an association with you or your products will give them. People are ready to pay if they are convinced about your services or products.”

“Start-ups are about entrepreneurs coming up with an idea whose proposition is very different from any existing idea in the market. Start-ups are about a set of people whose collective experience can test an idea’s market fit and scale it up.”

"Organisations with decision-making speed & imagination will thrive as nobody can claim to have a monopoly over creativity." Cosnidered to be one of the greatest entrepreneurs in the world, Murthy's leadership and commitmment transformed Infosys into India's second largest technology firm.

"It is better to under-promise and overdeliver than vice versa. For this one need not break the law of the land. Murthy has been instrumental in shaping the IT landscape of India and paving the way for a new India."

“You become a star not because of your title; you become a star because you are adding star value to the company.” From Chairman to CEO, President to Chief Mentor, NR Narayana Murthy has donned various roles at Infosys.

“It’s very important to learn quick lessons from your failures, very important to recognise symptoms of failure pretty early, and it is very, very important to not to be attached too much to the idea – you have to know when to give up an idea.” Murthy was born into a middle-class Kannada family. He had to work extremely hard to reach where he is today.

"It is less important where you start. It is more important how and what you learn. If the quality of the learning is high, the development gradient is steep, and, given time, you can find yourself in a previously unattainable place.”
