While Gen Z Hustles, This 21-Month-Old Earns Rs 10,65,00,000 From….; Is Youngest Investor Of THIS Company—He Is….
photoDetails english Updated:Aug 03, 2025, 07:08 PM IST This Toddler Bags ₹10.65 Crore 1 / 8 While most Gen Zers are busy juggling side hustles and first jobs, a 21-month-old toddler has already earned a whopping Rs 10.65 crore—all without lifting a finger. Meet Ekagrah Rohan Murty, the youngest member of the Murthy family, who's quietly making headlines as one of India's youngest dividend millionaires. Meet Ekagrah—India's Youngest Dividend Millionaire 2 / 8 Ekagrah was born in November 2023 in Bengaluru to Rohan Murthy and Aparna Krishnan. He is the grandson of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy and acclaimed author-philanthropist Sudha Murty. Despite being just a toddler, he's already made more money in dividends than many adults earn in a lifetime. Gifted 15 Lakh Infosys Shares As A Baby 3 / 8 When Ekagrah was only four months old, his grandfather gifted him 15 lakh Infosys shares, amounting to a 0.04 per cent stake in the company. At the time of the transfer, the shares were valued at over Rs 240 crore—instantly making him one of the youngest shareholders of a major Indian tech company. Rs 10.65 Crore Earned From Dividends Alone 4 / 8 In the financial year ending March 2025, Infosys announced three dividend payouts totaling Rs 49 per share. Ekagrah earned Rs 7.35 crore through interim dividends and another Rs 3.3 crore through the final dividend—bringing his total dividend income to Rs 10.65 crore. Infosys Dividend Bonanza 5 / 8 Even with a modest-sounding 0.04 per cent stake, Ekagrah's shareholding earned him crores in just one financial year. Infosys' consistent dividend performance shows how powerful equity ownership can be, especially when started early—even from infancy. Part Of A Powerhouse Legacy 6 / 8 Ekagrah is the third grandchild of Narayana and Sudha Murty. His cousins, Krishna and Anoushka, are the daughters of Akshata Murty and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. With such a remarkable family legacy, it's no surprise that even the youngest generation is already making financial headlines. Murthy Family's Dividend Earnings This Year 7 / 8 The latest dividend payout also brought in massive gains for other Murthy family members. Akshata Murty, who holds a 1.04 per cent stake in Infosys, earned Rs 85.71 crore. Narayana Murthy received Rs 33.3 crore, while Sudha Murty pocketed Rs 76 crore. Clearly, Infosys continues to reward its founding family generously. A Financial Head Start Like No Other 8 / 8 At just 21 months old, Ekagrah already has a head start in life that most people can only dream of. With Rs 10.65 crore in dividend earnings and equity worth hundreds of crores, he is not only India's youngest investor—but possibly one of its most fortunate as well.

Shaadi.com founder Anupam Mittal slams US over visa delays, says Indians are powering its economy; Hails India-UK trade deal
Synopsis Anupam Mittal, the founder of has criticised the United States for its sluggish progress on trade and visa matters, in contrast to the UK's more welcoming stance. He highlighted the significant contributions of Indians to the US economy, especially in the fields of technology and finance, while urging India to assert its economic influence and demand fair treatment. Anupam Mittal (Image: Linkedin) founder Anupam Mittal didn't hold back as he criticised the United States for dragging its feet on trade and visa matters. In a viral post on LinkedIn, Mittal praised India's new trade agreement with the UK, calling it a major shift in global power dynamics.'After years of colonial hangover, it's finally India calling the shots,' he wrote, taking a clear dig at the US for failing to keep the UK seems to be rolling out the red carpet, Mittal said the US is still 'playing hardball.' He pointed out the irony, Indians are no longer just exporting goods, they're actually powering the American economy.'Tech? Mostly run by Indians. Wall Street? Flooded with Indian-origin fund managers. Even the new CEO of P&G is Indian. And most VC-backed startups? You'll likely find at least one Indian founder at the table,' he said. Mittal noted that while Indians are making waves across industries, the US hasn't updated its policies to reflect this change. 'What we're seeing is more posturing than partnership,' he wrote. He even suggested that India should no longer accept such behaviour quietly. 'India needs to flex its diplomatic and economic muscle. Time for a counter ultimatum, play fair or we bring back our Kohinoors,' he said cheekily, along with an AI image of himself on a billboard in Times post struck a chord online, with many agreeing that India is no longer waiting for a seat at the table. One user wrote, 'We're redesigning the table. Talent, tech, leadership, that's where India wins.'Another added, 'The rise of Indian talent is clear as day. What's missing is policy support that respects this rise.'

Tariff tantrums have economists betting RBI biting rate-cut bullet again
MUMBAI: The 25% export duty shocker from the US effective August 7, which if not reversed to a reasonable level may shave off 20-30 bps from this year's growth, has the Mint Road-watchers divided with some calling for a monetary support given the below-target inflation prints while some others calling for caution till the tariff talks are completed. The Reserve Bank-led monetary policy committee begins its bimonthly meeting on Monday and the policy decisions will be announced on Wednesday. The RBI has already cut the policy repo rate by a 100 bps since February with the last meeting delivering an unconventional 50 bps to 5.5%. On July 30, US president Donald Trump unexpectedly announced a 25% flat tariffs on Indian goods along with an unspecified additional penalty on India's energy and military purchases from Russia. The announcement came as a shocker to New Delhi as five rounds of trade talks have been completed and the sixth round is slated for August 25 in the Capital. What was more shocking was that the new tariffs are much more than anticipated and leave Indian goods at a great disadvantage to many of its market rivals. While economists at British brokerage Barclays see the tariff impact to shave 30 bps off GDP this fiscal—RBI has pegged it at 6.5% this fiscal, foreign agencies like the IMF and the Asian Development Bank have pegged it marginally lower at 6.4% and 6.5% respectively, domestic rating agency Icra and Japanese brokerage Nomura have pegged it at 20 bps bringing down growth to 6% this year.
