British Prime Minister of Indian descent Rishi Sunak has taken over as leader of the government following Liz Truss' resignation. On Tuesday, he saw King Charles III. Then, the king requested that he establish the government. In the meantime, PM Sunak's wife has also received significant news. In reality, the second-largest information technology business in India, Infosys, paid Akshata Murthy, the wife of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, a dividend of Rs 126.61 crore in 2022 for her interest in the company. The fact that Akshata Murthy is the child of Narayan Murthy, co-founder of Infosys, the largest software firm in India, is significant.

Akshata, the daughter of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy, held 3.89 crores, or 0.93 percent, of Infosys shares at the end of September, according to statistics submitted to the stock markets. At a price of Rs 1,527.40 a share on the BSE on Tuesday, his holding is worth Rs 5,956 crore. One of the best dividend-paying firms in India is Infosys.

Significantly, Akshata had to face controversies due to the tax situation on her income outside the UK. Not only Akshata but there was a cloud of the crisis on Rishi Sunak regarding this dispute.

When Sunak attended Stanford University in California for his MBA, he met Akshata Murthy, the daughter of Narayan Murthy, a co-founder of Infosys, the largest software firm in India. Both of them were married in Bangalore in 2009 in accordance with Indian tradition. In England, Akshata also owns and operates a fashion company. She currently ranks among the wealthiest women in England. Krishna and Anushka Sunak are the parents of two daughters.
