4 min readKochiJun 22, 2026 08:42 PM IST Even though they had never crossed paths professionally, actor R Madhavan and businessman Narayana Murthy, the founder of Infosys, once sat down for a conversation. However, it wasn’t a regular chat where two people sat in private to interact. Instead, it happened during an event where Madhavan interviewed Murthy. While the conversation mostly focused on the future of India, it also featured some heartwarming moments as they asked each other personal questions. Held as part of a session at the India-Singapore Exposition in August 2007, Murthy requested that Madhavan, in particular, be the interviewer, much to the surprise of everyone, including the actor. Although taken aback, Madhavan was not ready to pass on the opportunity to interact with one of his “idols.” While the interview covered many serious topics, Murthy also took the chance to ask the actor who his favourite heroine was. Onstage, they also opened up about their romantic relationships with their respective significant others. Why R Madhavan idolises Narayana Murthy “It was a dream …

Kunal Kamra Roasts Sudha Murty With Narayana Murthy’s “70-Hour” Suggestion

New Delhi: Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra is facing a huge controversy over his parody targeting Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. In his latest “Naya Bharat” show, he has lampooned several high-profile figures including author and Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murty and her husband and Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy. In his 45-minute act, Kunal Kamra took swipes at Sudha Murty’s “simple” lifestyle and Narayana Murthy’s 70-hour workweek remarks. Kunal Kamra talked about the types of wealthy people in the country, including those who “become rich but pretend to belong to a middle class”. Sudha Murty, he said, was one of those, with her “claims to be simple”. “Among the rich people who pretend to be middle class, there is a great lady named Sudha Murty. She is the epitome of simplicity. That is her claim that she is simple. She has written 50 books on her simplicity. At any airport, you will find a book section dedicated to Ms Murty and every book’s theme is that she is simple,” he said. To embellish his point, …

Sudha Murty Reacts To Husband Narayana Murthy’s ’70-Hour Work Week’ Suggestion

Author-philanthropist Sudha Murty believes “time never becomes a limit” when people look forward to doing something seriously and passionately. The Rajya Sabha member, for the first time, spoke on her husband Narayana Murthy’s contentious 70-hour work-week suggestion. On NDTV’s ‘India Through the Eyes of Its Icons’ show, she said that her husband decided to build Infosys with no money, but dedicated colleagues, and it was possible only when they worked 70 hours or at times even more. She claimed that it couldn’t have been possible otherwise; there was no “magic wand” that could make Infosys “so large”. “It was sheer hard work, part of luck, part of the correct timing or in the correct place, everything is there,” Ms Murty said. But what about personal life? When Mr Murthy talked to her about their personal life, she said she told him to “take care of Infosys”, while she looked after herself and the family. “I made that decision, and I also decided there was no point cribbing and telling your husband, ‘Oh you are not …

“Most So-Called AI Things Are Silly, Old Programmes”: Narayana Murthy

Published by Webster

Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has said it has “become a fashion” in India to talk about artificial intelligence (AI) for everything, emphasising that most “so-called AI things are silly, odd programmes”. Speaking at a TiEcon Mumbai 2025 event on Wednesday, Mr Murthy said, “I think somehow it has become a fashion in India to talk of AI for everything. I have seen several normal, ordinary programmes being touted as AI.” Mr Murthy shared two fundamental principles of AI – machine learning and deep learning. Explaining machine learning, he said, it is “nothing but a large-scale correlation. Based on a large amount of data, it helps you predict.” Deep learning, he said, imitates human brain functioning. While machine learning handles supervised algorithms, deep learning takes care of unsupervised algorithms. “Deep learning, using the data it has, creates new branches of programmes or new conditions and then it will be able to take decisions. Unsupervised algorithms, which use deep learning and neural networks are the ones that have much greater potential to do things that will mimic …
