Sudha Murty recently spoke about the ₹10,000 loan she gave to NR Narayana Murthy to start Infosys in 1981 and said it didn't matter if he had failed. "I knew...if I don't give (the money), he'll regret it for the rest of his life," she said. Sudha also revealed that the ₹10,000 was money she had kept aside for emergencies.
