Infosys co-founder N.R. Narayana Murthy recently opened up about his "big regret".
According to a CNBCTV18 report, Murthy revealed that he regrets not allowing his wife Sudha Murty join the company despite her helping him start the company with a seed capital of Rs 10,000 and asking him to focus on export markets.
He said she was more qualified than all seven co-founders of Infosys.
Explaining his reasons for not asking his wife to join the company, Murthy said he had a feeling that good corporate governance means not bringing one's family into the company as those days it used to be the family rule and children of company owners used to run the businesses and there used to be violation of laws.
"I think what I was doing those days was wrong, I was wrongly idealistic and, in some way, I think I was influenced a lot by the environment of those days,” he was quoted as saying to CNBC-TV18.
He, however, does not want his son Rohan Murty to have a role in Infosys. "I think he's even stricter than I am in these ideas. He will never say that."
