Hello, Sudha Murthy is an Indian engineering teacher and Kannada and English author as well as a Social worker. She is also the Chairperson of the Infosys Foundation. She is the wife of co-founder of Infosys, N. R. Narayana Murthy. Sudha Murthy began her professional career in computer science and engineering. "What you should worry about is what you like to do, as long as what you like to do is morally and ethically right,” she said. As Chairperson of the Infosys Foundation, where Sudha Murty works with people from different walks of life, she believes she has found her purpose in life in serving people. At Infosys Foundation, the non-profit arm of the IT company, Sudha Murty has dedicated her life to serving the underprivileged by empowering them through education, poverty alleviation, healthcare, public hygiene, education, and art and culture. “Serving people has bought me a tremendous amount of calmness. Nothing else matters to me now,” says Sudha Murty, who credits her daughter for waking her up from her slumber, and forcing her to reflect on the purpose of her life over two decades ago. At the time, Sudha Murty was the Head of Department of Computer Science at Bangalore University. “My daughter asked me: ‘A person like you who is well-read and well-traveled, what do you expect in life? Do you want to be glamorous? Do you want to spend your time in technology? Or do you want to spend your time with your large family? What do you want to do in life?” This made Sudha Murty, who was around 45 years old at the time, question her purpose in life. She found herself asking herself at the time, “What is there to do with my life? I thought I could enjoy the fruits of my labour, but what does ‘enjoy' mean? Was it to make money, win awards, have children, or get more doctorates?” Shortly thereafter, Sudha Murty resigned from her full-time position in the University, choosing to take up a consulting professor role instead, and became one of the first trustees of Infosys Foundation, which was established in 1996. Since then, Sudha Murty has led various initiatives by the Infosys Foundation to build hospitals, schools, orphanages, rehabilitation centres, as well as more than 14,000 toilets and over 60,000 libraries for the underprivileged sections of the society “It was hard, but I always thought I was on a mission. And this attitude (I had, where I believed) ‘let everyone say everything as long as I am morally and ethically right,' has helped me throughout.” The podcast story will make you feel what is important in life and helping people can lead in the place you want to go #SudhaMurty#Philanthropy#Wayoflife Please do share with your family and friends You Tube :https://bit.ly/ytriseofinspiration Facebook https://www.facebook.com/riseofinspiration Instagram https://www.instagram.com/riseofinspiration/ Listen now from Castbox too https://castbox.fm/vc/2998329 Listen on Spotify https://bit.ly/riseofinspiration Listen to Apple Podcast https://bit.ly/riseofinspirationwithsangeeta And many platform...
