What decision was taken by Narayan Murthy's father after getting high rank?
Answers
Answer:
We may have to thank a few Bulgarian guards for giving the Indian information technology sector its most celebrated son.
In 1974, while travelling in a train near a border town between Bulgaria and Serbia, NR Narayana Murthy was engaged in a conversation in French with a young woman and the talk drifted to how tough it was to live in the Communist world. Before too long, a few guards came along and pulled them out. Murthy was dragged through the platform into a little cell, where he spent the next 72 hours without food or drink.
Murthy took one of the biggest decisions of his life while being in that dingy room. Having lost all sympathy for Communism, he made up his mind to become an entrepreneur who would create thousands of jobs for the then struggling Indian middle class. He left the shores of being a confused Leftist and joined the ranks of a compassionate capitalist. Murthy is on record stating that this incident sowed in his young mind the seeds of creating an Indian multinational software company.
