Why sudha Is Trending Today?

Rishi Sunak, the UK's former Prime Minister, praised the Indian diaspora's accomplishments in the UK and acknowledged Narayana Murthy's role in his political career. In a series of statements, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah criticized Narayana Murthy and his wife Sudha for skipping a caste survey in Karnataka, defending the state's investment record and arguing that the survey was not limited to backward classes. Meanwhile, amidst TCS layoffs, Narayana Murthy received positive news as Infosys hired 12,000 employees and had 8,000 job vacancies, with the company's Q2 net profit rising to Rs 73,640 crore. Infosys CEO Salil Parekh also discussed H1B visa concerns during this period.

Infosys founder Narayana Murthy and his wife Sudha Murthy have declined to participate in Karnataka's socio-economic survey, citing that they do not belong to a backward community. The couple's decision comes amidst a significant layoff announcement by another major IT company, which is not Infosys or TCS, led by Noel Tata. The Karnataka government is now considering changes to the survey following the Murthys' decision.
