IT giant Infosys has rewarded its shareholders with a hefty dividend payout, significantly boosting the wealth of its founding family and their next generations. With a total dividend of Rs 43 per share for FY25—including an interim dividend of Rs 21—the Bengaluru-based firm disbursed Rs 2,330 crore to its promoters alone.
Among the biggest beneficiaries is Rohan Murty, son of co-founder Narayana Murthy, who earned Rs 261.5 crore in dividends through his 6 crore shares. His sister, Akshata Murty, who owns 3.8 crore shares, took home Rs 167 crore, according to a Times of India report.
The spotlight, however, is now also on the third generation of Infosys founders. Nikita and Milan Shibulal Manchanda, grandchildren of co-founder S.D. Shibulal, earned Rs 26.3 crore each from their 61 lakh shares. Tanush Nilekani Chandra, another grandchild, received Rs 14 crore from 33.5 lakh shares.
Even the youngest shareholder, Ekagrah Rohan Murty—Rohan Murty’s son—earned Rs 6.5 crore from 15 lakh shares. Ekagrah made headlines last year when he received those shares as a gift from his grandfather, valued at over Rs 240 crore at the time, making him one of India’s youngest millionaires.
With this payout, Infosys not only bolstered investor sentiment but also underscored the growing financial influence of its next-generation stakeholders.
