When Mamedi met Murthy: Truecaller CEO once aspired to work at Infosys

Truecaller's CEO Alan Mamedi met Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy and spent some quality time taking to him.

Mamedi shared a post on Friday capturing the experience. He described Murthy as an "incredibly humble person". The two spent an hour "discussing everything about life", Mamedi said in his post.

'I had luck in life, I must give back', Murthy told Mamedi while answering a question by the Truecaller CEO.


The Truecaller CEO says he discovered Murthy's Infosys link only later. After coming to know of who Murthy really was, he revealed to Murthy that as a child he aspired to work at Infosys, "because when his computer broke down, an Infosys employee came to his house to repair it."

Mamedi's post read, "An incredibly humble person! When he later told me about Infosys, I told him that my dream as a kid was to work for his company after our computer broke at home and a guy from Infosys came to our house to fix it. It's funny how life plays out sometimes."

Murthy recently hit the headlines after he urged youngsters to work 70 hours a week in order to increase India's overall productivity. His comment sparked a huge debate online, which has still not died down.

Murthy's view has found support among some of India's industry stalwarts, which some others have panned it.
