Originally an engineer and computer sciences expert, Sudha Murthy has written over 20 books, some of which have inspired TV series, other adaptations
Author Sudha Murthy, who has been awarded the Padma Bhushan this year, today shared four points of advice to her son-in-law, UK PM Rishi Sunak. "People who are in the limelight, they will always have controversy," she said, urging him, and others, to "be morally and ethically right, and work sincerely".
Among the first backers of her husband Narayan Murthy's company Infosys — she gave him Rs 10,000 as the company was founded in 1981 — she also listed having patience as a top requirement, and the wisdom to know one's limits.
"Everyone has a capacity, but also limitations," she told NDTV in an interview days after she was chosen for India's third highest civilian honour.
She had life advice for women too, particularly for those who have to juggle personal life with their profession. "I want to tell all Indian women, that once the children come, they become the priority. When you rejoin (your profession), you won't join at the same level. But remember, age is no bar. It is your passion that takes you to the top, and a good support system," Ms Murthy said.
