Early life
Sudha Murthy was born on August 19, 1950 in Shiggaon in northern Karnataka, India. The daughter of a reputed local physician Dr. S.R. Kulkarni, Mrs. Murty and her siblings were raised by her parents and maternal grandparents of the Deshastha Brahmin Kadim Diwan-Melgiri-Ron family.[6][7][8] These childhood experiences form the historical basis for her first notable work entitled How I Taught my Grandmother to Read & Other Stories.[9] Two institutions of higher learning, the H.R. Kadim Diwan Building housing the Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) department at IIT Kanpur[10][11] and the Narayan Rao Melgiri Memorial National Law Library at NLSIU,[6] were both endowed and inaugurated by the Infosys Foundation.
