Infosys
Back in 1981, a group of seven trailblazing engineers came together to launch Infosys. Their humble journey began in a simple one-bedroom flat before they made a strategic decision to shift their base to Bengaluru from Pune. The architect of this IT titan included figures like Naryana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani, Kris Gopalakrishnan, SD Shibulal, K Dinesh, and N S Raghavan. Despite starting with just a seed investment bordering $250, they turned Infosys into a leading global IT firm, presently boasting a whopping market worth of around $80 billion.
