Co-founder of Infosys Nandan Nilekani recently referred to himself as an “accidental entrepreneur” and reflected on how a job interview with Narayana Murthy in 1978 set him on a path that eventually led to the founding of Infosys on July 2, 1981. "When I heard about this mini-computer company, I said, ‘Wow, this sounds exciting.’” He was referring to Patni Computer Systems in Pune, where Narayana Murthy was leading the software division. Recalling his job interview with Murthy, Nilekani added, “He asked me some problem-solving questions.
