Infosys - Started with 10k, earning billions

Hi friends!!!!!!!

How are you all? After a long back your lovable friend strikes back again with a good journal. I hope that this is a good article.......

So if you are interested to know about something then grab a seat, get hold of coffee or tea and keep open the page. Lets start reading bore and interesting, motivating and unimportant article.......... 

Boredom or interesting depends on your perception.

May be you are thinking that who's this idiot all talking idiotic things. Am i right?

What ever you think........ I am going to start the topic.

Actually we all know that there are very few companies those are started from the grass rout level and leading the sectors. One among such companies is ''Infosys Technologies Limited" shortly 'Infosys'.

Typical situations faced:

We should know about Narayana Murthy and how did he faced typical situations at inception of his company. 

When Infosys started in 1981, there were seven people, and they put together about USD250 at current exchange rates. They were short of money, but they were very long on hope.

This down-to-earth man had to mortgage his wife Sudha's jewelry for Rs. 10,000 to put some funds in the company.

"IN 1981 MURTY WANTED TO START INFOSYS. HE HAD A VISION AND ZERO CAPITAL. . ....Typical of Murty, he just had a dream and no money. So I gave him Rs 10,000 which I had saved for a rainy day, without his knowledge and told him, This is all I have. Take it." - Sudha Murthy

This is the situation faced by todays' one of the great entrepreneurs Narayana Murthy. As the phrase 'Behind every success of men there will be one women', Sudha murthy helped her husband to start a company. This proverb has come true in the life of Narayana murthy.

So what did you observe friends?

'Will' is enough to face any type of hurdles.
