At just four months old, Rohan Murthy made headlines as one of India’s youngest millionaires. Now, he’s over a year old. His grandparents, Sudha Murthy and Narayan Murthy, the co-founder of Infosys, are anything but ordinary. They gifted him shares worth a whopping Rs 240 crore in Infosys, making him the youngest millionaire in the country.
The shares given to Rohan represent a 0.04% stake in Infosys, which translates to around 1.5 million shares. Following this generous gift, Narayan Murthy’s ownership in Infosys dipped from 0.40% to 0.36%. This move was made to help carry on the family legacy.
Born in November 2023, Rohan is the third grandson in the family. His arrival adds to the family’s rich legacy in technology, philanthropy, and strong values. By passing on shares worth Rs 240 crore to their youngest grandchild, the Murthy couple has not only secured Rohans financial future but also showcased the importance of family values.
The name Rohan signifies focus or determination. It draws inspiration from the legendary warrior Arjuna in the Mahabharata. This name reflects the family’s values of dedication, perseverance, and concentration.
Infosys kicked off in 1981 with just a $250 investment from Narayana Murthy. Over the years, it grew into a global IT giant. The transfer of shares to Rohan shows that he’s stepping into the family legacy of innovation and achievement.
