Ex-Infosys Family Member Carves Own Path in Tech Industry

Ex-Infosys Family Member Carves Own Path in Tech Industry

Bangalore, December 2023 - Despite being part of one of India's largest IT companies, a notable figure from the same family has followed an independent path in building his own tech firm.

Rohan Narayana Murty, son of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy and philanthropist-author Sudha Murty, is the recent example of someone carving their own identity distinct from their families' legacy. Starting at a young age, Rohan showed an affinity for technology that ultimately led him to build his own company.

After studying abroad in Cornell University and then going on to pursue his Ph.D. at Harvard University, Rohan eventually co-founded Soroco in 2014. Partnering with experts Arjun Narayan and George Nychis, he spearheaded the technological direction of the firm. With a focus on using artificial intelligence to optimize workplace processes, Soroco aims to revolutionize digital transformation for businesses.

Over the years, the company has shown remarkable growth, attracting over $15 billion in potential revenue globally with its services catering to 500 million white-collar employees worldwide. Although the company's revenue in 2022 was still in progress being estimated by various reports, this showcases its growing stature in the market.

Rohan Murty holds a 1.67% stake of his beloved family business - Infosys amounting to Rs 5.55 trillion but owns $106.42 Crore as projected dividend income from his holdings that he has obtained for the year. His connection with Infosys keeps him close to his family's legacy, yet demonstrates his path to making an impact on his own terms in the tech industry.

Rohan's courageous take on building a business identity outside of the realm set by his parents signifies strength and independence. This makes room for Rohan Murty as an inspiring figure representing success through vision and unwavering determination - not unlike what made Narayana murthy and Sudha Murthy legends in their respective fields
