Episode Synopsis

Sudha and Narayana Murthy are no doubt icons of our generation. But when so much is known about their life already, what can you possibly write that seems new to readers? And when the subjects of your book are your primary sources, how can you avoid being hagiographical? In this conversation with Divya Shekhar, celebrated author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
talks about ‘An Uncommon Love’, her first work of non-fiction, where she focusses on the early life of the Murthys. She traces their childhood, courtship, marriage, family life, and also their
individual professional milestones, including the founding and initial years of Infosys.
