How a cold email to billionaire Narayana Murthy led to a meeting within hours

“I really looked up to the Infosys founders and how they came together in the 80s to create something of value,” he said.

He added, “After I came back from the UK, I wanted to meet Narayana Murthy. So I shot him an email. I wrote to Narayana Murthy saying I’m so-and-so and I’d love to meet you.”

Sharing a clip from the podcast, the official handle of the show wrote, “Imagine emailing a billionaire tech founder and getting a reply in HOURS with a meeting invite. Our guest did exactly that with Narayana Murthy – and it worked! This is the Bangalore difference – where accessibility meets humility, and legends still believe in ‘paying it forward’.”

“Try this in Mumbai with the Ambanis or Delhi’s power circles… good luck! This warmth and openness is what makes our city special. Bangalore doesn’t just make tech – it makes connections,” it added.
