The book, a biography of Narayana Murthy, mentions his children would spend weeks without listening to his voice as back then, phone calls to the US would cost Rs 32 per minute.
Narayana Murthy's recent comments about the need to work for 70 hours a week sparked a huge debate, with many social media users appearing divided. The 77-year-old Infosys co-founder also revealed that in his early year, he used to work really hard - more than 12 hours a week. This long work schedule caused Mr Murthy to sacrifice spending time with his family. Now, US-based Indian-origin writer Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni has touched upon Mr Murthy's personal life in her upcoming book 'An Uncommon Love: The Early Life of Sudha and Narayana Murthy'.
In an article written for Times of India, in which she shared some excerpts from the biography, Ms Divakaruni said when he was away from his family, Mr Murthy's children Akshata and Rohan Murty dearly missed him.
The book also mentions that the children would spend weeks without listening to his voice as back then, phone calls to the US would cost Rs 32 per minute.
