In the early 1990s, Infosys faced a major obstacle when the Indian government imposed severe restrictions on foreign exchange, crippling the company's ability to pay its foreign employees and threatening to stall its global expansion. With the company's future hanging in the balance, Murthy and his team navigated this treacherous landscape by leveraging their relationships with Indian banks to secure a special exemption, allowing them to access the necessary foreign exchange. Additionally, they creatively structured their international contracts to minimize the impact of the restrictions. Through these innovative solutions, Infosys successfully overcame the regulatory hurdles, and today stands as a testament to their perseverance, having grown into a global IT powerhouse with over $14 billion in revenue, 250,000 employees, and a presence in 50 countries, proudly declaring its status as one of India's most iconic and enduring success stories!
