Rise to Wealth with Infosys

In the early 1980s, Gopalakrishnan and five other co-founders launched Infosys in Pune, India.

By 2007, he became the CEO and Managing Director, steering Infosys through a period of incredible growth. Under his leadership, the company expanded globally, generating billions in revenue.

Diversification Through Investments

He became the Chairman of Axilor Ventures, where he supports early-stage companies like Kaagaz, GoodHome, and EnKash. These investments reflect his forward-thinking approach to building wealth through innovation.

Philanthropy and Giving Back

Gopalakrishnan is not just a successful businessman but also a philanthropist. He donated Rs 225 crore to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to establish the Centre for Brain Research. He also funded the Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre at IIT Madras, supporting groundbreaking brain research. His charitable efforts emphasize his commitment to scientific advancement and societal good.

Recognition and Influence

Gopalakrishnan’s contributions have earned him national recognition, including the prestigious Padma Bhushan award from the Government of India in 2011. He continues to play a vital role in educational and research institutions, further shaping the tech landscape in India.

A Legacy of Vision

With a net worth of $4.1 billion, Kris Gopalakrishnan’s success is a reflection of his strategic vision and his ability to adapt to new opportunities. His journey shows that true success lies not just in building a business but in diversifying investments and making a meaningful impact on society.
