The market value of Murthy family's 4.02% stake in Infosys decreased to Rs 30,334 crore, whilst the company's market capitalisation declined to Rs 7.54 lakh crore, according to an ET report.


According to September quarter holdings, Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy owned 0.40% of the company, Sudha N Murty held 0.92%, Rohan Murty possessed 1.62%, and Akshata Murty (Rishi Sunak's wife) maintained 1.04%. Ekagrah Rohan Murty, Narayana Murthy's grandson, held 0.04% stake in the company.

The collective 4.02% ownership of these five family members was valued at Rs 30,334 crore following Friday's decline. This indicated a considerable decrease from Thursday's valuation of Rs 32,236 crore, demonstrating the impact of the market selloff on their net worth.

The company's operational revenue grew by 8% YoY to Rs 41,764 crore, leading to an upward revision of revenue guidance to 4.5%-5% for the current fiscal year.
