We all know about Sudha Murty, the Chairperson of Infosys Foundation, a renowned author of over 150 books, a philanthropist, and social worker. She is married to Infosys co-founder N R Narayana Murthy. Despite holding all of these powerful positions in society, she is known for her humility. Her simplicity shines through her daily gestures. Now, co-founder of India Hemp and Co, Jayanti Bhattacharya, took to LinkedIn and shared how she had an encounter with Mrs Murty at the airport. Sharing an image with her, she wrote, “It’s good to know that in a world of Elon Musks, we’ll always have our Sudha Murty.”

Jayanti claimed that she had always heard about Mrs Murty’s grace, grit, intelligence and creativity. “What blew me away was her patience, her humility and her simplicity. Mrs. #Sudha #Murty, a #Padmabhushan recipient (mother-in-law to the Prime Minister of the UK) – just waiting in a busy airport with us, talking and connecting with everyday people,” she wrote.

This came in as Mrs Murty was seen connecting with people, just like an ordinary person would do, while waiting for the flight. Here, have a look at the viral post:

Since being uploaded, the post has managed to gather thousands of likes. Many people agreed with what Jayanti said. “Indeed, Jayanti Bhattacharya! Sudha Murthy Maam’s grace, grit, intelligence, and creativity have left an indelible mark on many. However, it’s her unwavering patience, humility, and simplicity that truly set her apart. Her ability to connect with everyday people in the midst of her remarkable achievements is a testament to her down-to-earth nature. In a world that often celebrates high-profile figures, Sudha Murthy reminds us of the enduring value of compassion and relatability,” wrote a LinkedIn user in the comments. Another person wrote, “Yes !! She is a rare lady with her skill of connecting with people at all levels . Her simplicity, plain speaking and humility never fail to impress whoever she comes across.”

This comes just a day after it was revealed that Mrs Murty has not purchased any new saree in years despite having a net worth of Rs 700 crore. In an interview, she said, “I was in Kashi to take the holy dip, and when you go to Kashi you have to give up something that you enjoy the most. I gave up shopping, particularly sarees, from then. I now only buy the essential items.”
