Ekagrah Rohan Murty, the 18-month-old grandson of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy, has earned ₹6.5 crore in dividends from his shares in Infosys. This is a huge amount of money for such a young child, showing the wealth and legacy of the Murthy family.
When Ekagrah was just four months old, Narayana Murthy gifted him shares worth over ₹240 crore. This gift gave Ekagrah a 0.04 per cent stake in Infosys, one of India’s largest IT services companies. The company recently paid a dividend of ₹43 per share. Since Ekagrah holds 15 lakh shares, he received ₹6.5 crore as dividend income.
Infosys distributed a total of ₹2,330 crore as dividends to all its shareholders, who own 54.2 crore shares together. Other major shareholders also received large amounts in dividends. For example, Nandan Nilekani, the chairman of Infosys, earned ₹175 crore from his 4 crore shares. Narayana Murthy himself earned ₹65 crore from 1.5 crore shares.
Other key promoters also received large dividends. Kris Gopalakrishnan earned ₹137 crore from 3.2 crore shares, and Sudha Murty, Narayana Murthy’s wife and a top shareholder, received ₹410 crore from 9.5 crore shares.
Besides the senior Murthy family members, their children also benefited. Rohan Murty, Ekagrah’s father, earned ₹261.5 crore from his 6 crore shares. Akshata Murty, wife of former UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and daughter of Narayana Murthy, got ₹167 crore from 3.8 crore shares.
The dividend earnings show the strong position of the Murthy family in Infosys. The company has been very successful and the family has remained important shareholders over many years.
Apart from Ekagrah, the next generation of the family is also earning large dividends. Nikita and Milan Shibulal Manchanda each hold 61 lakh shares, earning ₹26.3 crore each from dividends. Tanush Nilekani Chandra owns 33.5 lakh shares, earning ₹14 crore.
Ekagrah, the youngest in the family, has already become one of India’s youngest millionaires due to the shares gifted by his grandfather. He was born in 2023 to Rohan Murty and Aparna Krishnan.
His name, Ekagrah, comes from a Sanskrit word meaning determination and focus. The name is inspired by the character Arjuna from the Indian epic Mahabharata, known for his strong will and concentration.
