As per Brand Finance Global 500 report 2026, Infosys is among the top 3 IT companies around the globe. With a market cap of Rs 690000 crore, Infosys is India's second most valuable IT company behind TCS. Although it is now soaring to new heights everyday, Infosys was once started with a Rs 10,000 loan from Sudha Murty. For those who are unaware, Infosys was founded by Narayana Murthy along with six of his fellow engineers in 1981. Before that, Murthy used to work at an IT firm after completing his graduation from a prestigious IIT institution. After working for a few years, he got the idea to start his own company but was short on funds. At that time, his wife Sudha Murty gave Rs 10000 as seed money for the venture. After some time, Narayana Murthy founded Infosys, one of the world's largest IT companies.

Sudha Murty believes that her decision to support Narayana Murthy with Rs 10,000 was her "best investment." She humorously expressed in an interview with NDTV that she might be the "best investor in India, at least, or maybe in the world… I don't know." Currently, Sudha Murty holds a 0.95% stake in Infosys.

Sumit Virmani, Global Chief Marketing Officer at Infosys said "Infosys' recognition as one of the top 3 IT services brands globally is a reflection of the trust our clients place in us and the enduring strength of brand Infosys." Infosys is often in the news for its massive acquisitions, hirings and major deals. It is currently under the leadership of Salil Parekh, who has held the position since January 2018 and is known for leading the company's digital and AI-driven transformation.
