At just four months old, Ekagrah Rohan Murty has made headlines as one of India’s youngest millionaires. This remarkable milestone came when his grandparents, Sudha Murty and Infosys founder Narayana Murthy, transferred Rs 240 crore worth of Infosys shares to him, securing his place in one of India’s most influential families.
The transferred wealth consists of a 0.04% stake in Infosys, amounting to approximately 1.5 million shares. Following this gift, Narayana Murthy’s stake in Infosys slightly reduced from 0.40% to 0.36%, showcasing the family’s commitment to passing on their legacy.
Born in November 2023, Ekagrah is the third grandchild of the Murthy family. His arrival further strengthens the legacy of a family known for its contributions to technology, philanthropy, and values.
By gifting shares worth Rs 240 crore to their youngest family member, the Murthys have not only ensured Ekagrah’s financial security but also exemplified their belief in family values and long-term planning.
The name “Ekagrah” translates to focus and determination, inspired by the legendary warrior Arjuna from the Mahabharata. This meaningful name reflects the family’s emphasis on virtues like dedication, perseverance, and focus.
Founded in 1981 by Narayana Murthy with an initial investment of $250, Infosys has grown into a global IT powerhouse. The transfer of shares to Ekagrah highlights the family’s vision of nurturing future generations to carry forward their tradition of innovation and success.
Ekagrah is not just part of a prominent Indian family but also has ties to international leadership. He is the nephew of former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is married to Akshata Murty, Ekagrah’s aunt.
