Grandpa Narayan Murthy Gifts Rs 240 Cr Worth Shares to 4-Month-Old Grandson

New Delhi: Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy has gifted shares worth over Rs 240 crore to his four-month-old grandson, Ekagrah Rohan Murty.

Although unable to know what money really means, Ekagrah has joined the elite list of millionaires in India, thanks to his grandfather.

Interestingly, in 2023, Narayan Murthy asked youngsters to work 70 hours a week. But when it came to his grandson, he made him a millionaire without a pinch of toil.

An exchange filing revealed that Ekagrah now possesses 15,00,000 shares of Infosys, amounting to a 0.04 percent stake in the company. The transaction was conducted “off-market”, the filing revealed.

Now Narayan Murthy’s holding in Infosys has come down from 0.40 per cent to 0.36 percent, with a holding of 1.51 crore shares.

Ekagrah was born in November 2023 to Rohan Murthy and Aparna Krishnan. He is the third grandchild of Narayan and Sudha Murty, who are also grandparents to two daughters of Akshata Murty and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
