Infosys, a company that created a revolution in the world of entrepreneurship in India, was originally conceived as just any other business idea by one of the most humble entrepreneurs the country has ever seen. Narayana Murthy, the man who changed the way people looked at business, opened up a possibility that wasn't even considered a reality before. This book chronicles the man's dream of building businesses for the society rather than treating them as mere sources of the financial fulcrum to make the lives of one sect of society better. It tells the tale of a modest young man who was finding it difficult to pay his school fee, who went on to become one of the most admired corporate personalities. His journey of becoming the head of an IT giant is fascinating. Ritu Singh has brought out his personal and professional saga in an inspiring way in this biography.
