'Didn't Buy A Saree In 30 Years': Why Sudha Murty, With A Net Worth Of Rs 775 Crore, Gave Up Shopping.
Sudha Murty, Rajya Sabha MP and engineer-turned-philanthropist, recently revealed that she gave up shopping for this lifetime and has not bought a single saree for herself in the last 30 years. The wife of Infosys chairman Narayana Murthy, who always dons a simple saree, makes headlines for her simplicity despite her immense wealth.

Sudha Murty revealed that she gave up shopping when she went to Kashi 30 years back. Notably, Sudha Murty's net worth is estimated to be around Rs 775 crore and she reportedly earns Rs 300 crore per year.
"It is said that when you go to Kashi, you should give up something you like very much. I used to love shopping, so my promise to the Ganga was that I would give up shopping for this lifetime," she said in an interview with The Voice of Fashion.
"When my mother passed away six years ago, it took us just half an hour to give away the things in her cupboard because she had just 8-10 sarees in it. When my grandma passed away 32 years ago, she had just four sarees. They travelled light on this earth, and since that has been part of my upbringing, I found it easier to adopt a simpler life with fewer possessions," she said.

She revealed that she has been wearing sarees gifted to her by her sisters, close friends, and occasionally, the NGOs she works with. Further, she spoke about her most cherished possessions and revealed that she loves the two hand-embroidered sarees given to her by a group of women whose lives she helped transform through her work with the Infosys Foundation.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, has become a billionaire after the company gained over $1 trillion in market value since 2023.

Neelam Singh, the founder and CEO of The Burger Company. Her story has widely circulated online as a masterclass in grit, budgeting, and scaling a business.

However, there is a mix-up regarding the financial valuation in recent social media posts. While her burger brand has achieved massive operational scale, the ₹520 Crore valuation actually belongs to Burger Singh, a separate homegrown Indian QSR brand that recently secured ₹82 crore in Series B funding at that specific valuation. Neelam Singh's The Burger Company operates as a separate highly successful multi-crore business empire.

After completing her MBA in Marketing, Neelam Singh left a stable corporate desk job. To save up initial seed capital, she cut her personal expenses to the absolute bare minimum, famously surviving on roadside meals costing just ₹20.
In 2018, she pooled together ₹5 lakh from her intensive 8-month savings and parental support to open a tiny 250 sq. ft. burger outlet in Gurugram.

During the early days, she managed everything single-handedly alongside just one employee—from kitchen operations and recipe testing to washing dishes.

By localizing the menu to suit the Indian palate (introducing items like the Bombay Burger and Punjabi Gabru) and keeping pricing middle-class friendly, the brand quickly scaled. Today, under her management firm 9 Plates Hospitality, The Burger Company has expanded via a franchise-first model to over 100+ outlets across 45+ cities in India, pulling in massive daily revenues.

Cami Loritz, a transplant ICU nurse who donated a portion of her liver to save 8-year-old Brayden Auten in May 2019.

Brayden, from Wisconsin, was a healthy and active child until an aggressive, unknown virus suddenly attacked his liver in April 2019. Within weeks, he suffered acute liver failure, and his condition deteriorated rapidly. Doctors determined he urgently needed a transplant, but no compatible donor was found among his family members.

Cami Loritz, who worked at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee where Brayden’s story was known, stepped forward to be tested as a living donor despite never having met him. She was found to be a perfect match and chose to undergo major surgery to save his life.
In living-donor transplants, the liver has a unique ability to regenerate. Over several weeks, the portions in both Cami and Brayden grew back to near-normal size and function.

Following their recoveries, Brayden and Cami met face-to-face and formed an inseparable bond, with Brayden even referring to her as his "big sister".Cami has since used her experience to advocate for living organ donation awareness, highlighting it as a feasible way for strangers to save lives.

A major controversy involving nearly 50 IAS and IPS officers who jointly purchased ~5 acres of agricultural land in Guradi Ghat, Bhopal for ₹5.5 Crore in April 2022. This investment preceded a massive government infrastructure boom and sparked severe public backlash regarding insider advantage..

Around 50 bureaucrats (from Delhi, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Haryana cadres) purchased the land on a single day for just ₹5.5 Crore (roughly ₹82 per sq ft).

Sixteen months after the purchase, the Madhya Pradesh Cabinet approved the ₹3,200 crore Western Bypass project, with an alignment passing very close to the officers' property.

The land was converted from agricultural to residential use.
Following the bypass approval and zoning change, market estimates suggest the land's value skyrocketed almost 11-fold, landing in the ₹55 to ₹65 Crore range.

While no official court rulings or criminal charges have been registered, the coincidence has sparked major outrage. Critics and public interest groups are calling for transparent investigations into potential conflicts of interest, questioning whether these top public servants utilized insider knowledge or their official positions to guarantee private financial gains before the bypass and rezoning were publicly known.
