Worked with an angry American client
In this, Narayan Murthy told that he used to work for an American client in the early days of Infosys. His nature was very angry. Once when he went to America, that client gave him his store room to sleep, there were many boxes lying in it. He spent the night on one of these big boxes. There were no windows in this store room. Whereas this house had four bedrooms.
Don used to pay late
Murthy said that Don Liles was the owner of Data Basics Corporations. He often used to be angry with Murthy. He used to delay in payment many times. Murthy used to constantly put pressure on him to pay on time, hence he was very upset with him. Whenever Narayana Murthy or his associates went to Manhattan, they did not book the hotel on time. Apart from this, he used to change his demand at the last moment, due to which Murthy and his team had to make a lot of changes in the project.
Sudha Murthy was very angry
Murthy said that the incident of sleeping on the box had disturbed him to the core. My mother always used to say that a guest is like God, the way you treat him reflects the kind of person you are. She always used to give food and drinks to the people who came to her house with full respect. But Don was sleeping on his comfortable bed and I was sleeping on the box. Sudha Murthy became very angry on this incident.
