Ratan Tata was surprised on Narayan Murthy’s invitation, Infosys founder refreshed old memories

Narayana Murthy: Veteran businessman and philanthropist Ratan Tata, who showed a new direction to the Tata Group, is no longer among us. But, the stories related to him are on everyone’s lips. One such interesting story has been narrated by Infosys founder Narayana Murthy. He told that we had created Jamshedji Tata Room in our company and had sent an invitation to Ratan Tata for its inauguration. Ratan Tata was shocked to receive this letter. At that time there was a direct competition between his company TCS and Infosys. He had also asked Narayan Murthy that why did you finally call me.

Ratan Tata came to inaugurate Infosys’s Jamsetji Tata Room.

Recalling this years old incident, Narayan Murthy said that this invitation letter sent by us to Ratan Tata in the year 2004 was a matter of surprise. But, despite the rivalry, we respected him a lot. Our company was having a tough competition with Tata Consultancy Services. After receiving the invitation letter, Ratan Tata couldn’t control himself and asked why you had invited me. In response to this, Narayan Murthy said that Jamsetji Tata has shown the path of progress to many companies. We do not see him as a person who is associated with our rival company. We want to honor him. No one can be better than you for this.

His visit had a great impact on Infosys employees.

Ratan Tata accepted this invitation and came to Infosys. This was a big moment for Infosys. He came and gave a short speech. He did not like to speak long. At that time TCS was the largest IT company in the country. We were trying to give them a tough competition. He spent a lot of time with our team. His visit had a very positive impact on our employees. He was filled with humility, patriotism and kindness. In the year 2020, Narayan Murthy also got the opportunity to give Life Time Achievement Award to Ratan Tata.
