New Delhi, Mar 14, 2024: Engineer-turned-philanthropist Sudha Murty today took oath as Rajya Sabha MP in the presence of her husband NR Narayana Murthy, who was invited to the ceremony too.
Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar administered the oath in his chamber in Parliament House. Leader of the House Piyush Goyal was also present on the occasion.
Ms Murty, 73, the former chairperson of Infosys Foundation and the author of several books, mostly for children, was nominated to the Rajya Sabha on International Women’s Day last Friday.
She is also renowned for her contribution to Kannada and English literature and is a recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Bal Sahitya Puraskar, the Padma Shri (2006) and the Padma Bhushan (2023).
Sudha Murty, who was the first woman engineer to have worked with TELCO, is famously known to have provided the seed capital of ₹ 10,000 from her emergency funds to her husband to start Infosys, which now has a market cap of over USD 80 billion.
Her daughter Akshata is married to Rishi Sunak, who is the current Prime Minister of Britain.
