In a recent episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, streaming on Netflix, Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy’s wife, Sudha Murty, shared a fascinating glimpse into her travel philosophy. Known for her philanthropic work and unassuming demeanor, Sudha Murty surprised viewers with her unwavering preference for economy class flights. This, despite her husband’s frequent suggestions to upgrade to business class.
During the show, Sudha Murty explained her rationale with a simple but powerful statement: “I spend all my money on philanthropy. He’ll tell me to buy business class tickets, but I say, ‘Why? I will reach the same destination, at the same time with an economy ticket too.” Her words highlight a key principle she lives by: prioritizing needs over wants and channeling resources towards meaningful causes.
Sudha Murty’s approach to travel serves as a reminder that comfort and convenience are not always the most important factors. For her, the journey is about reaching the destination, and doing so efficiently allows her to dedicate more resources to supporting her philanthropic endeavors. Her story resonates with anyone who values practicality, resourcefulness, and making a positive impact on the world.
