Infosys founder and former CEO N.R Narayan Murthy has once again made headlines for all the all reasons as he suggested that ‘nothing should be given for free’.
Murthy was recently ruthlessly trolled all over the internet for his absolutely horrendous suggestion of employees being made to work 70 hours a week. It seems that Narayan didn’t learn much from his recent mistakes and has stepped on the axe for the second time now.
Murthy proposed that individuals benefiting from government-provided services and subsidies should actively contribute towards societal improvement. The Infosys co-founder further asserted that adopting a model of compassionate capitalism is essential for a country like India, grappling with poverty, to transform into a prosperous nation.
This has certainly not gone well with netizens as they’ve left no screws loose in trolling him across all social platforms, especially, the notorious X (formerly known as Twitter)
One user by the name of ‘Rofl Epic Don’ posted ‘He studied Engg. at NIT on subsidized fee, studied at IIT on subsidized fee, studied at IIM on subsidized fee’ and called him out on saying no to subsidies and fellowships now that he has become successful. The post has amassed well over 200k views and near to a thousand reposts.
This incident reminds us that not all famous and successful people are good at heart and often forget the generosities they were once shown. Narayan is one such example who despite reaching immense levels of success, fails to win the most important thing of them all, people’s hearts.

After studying at IIT and IIM on subsidized fees and building his Infosys empire on tax-free SEZs and subsidized land, Narayana Murthy is now advocating against subsidies.
Subsidies for billionaires is development but when the poor get a benefit, it becomes a freebie/revadi. https://t.co/DCyhmLi4mH
