Naraayana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani, N S Raghavan, S Gopalakrishnan, S D Shibulal, K Dinesh and Ashok Arora were all former employees of Patni Computer Systems. It was in 1981 that they decided to start a company of their own. The result was Infosys Consultants that started in the front room of Murthy’s house in Pune.
Funding was a huge issue when Infosys began. Narayana Murthy borrowed money from his wife. From its humble beginning, Infosys grew to be the first Indian company to be listed on NASDAQ, an American Stock Exchange. Infosys worked to provide services that included software, business consulting, information technology and outsourcing.
The client base grew and the headquarters was shifted to Bangalore in 1983 and by 1992, the company went public. By the mid-1990s, the company went global. They later developed software products for business operations, customer service, and commerce network domains. Today, Infosys is a very big name in Information Technology.
