Akshata Murthy, the wife of new UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is the daughter of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy and author Sudha Murthy. She is the first Indian First Lady and is a billionaire.
She is a fashion designer and Director of Catamaran Ventures in the UK. She met Sunak when both of them were studying at Stanford University in the US. They got married in Bangalore in 2006 and have two school going daughters Krishna and Anoushka.
Akshata says that she grew up in a family of strong women and her husband in a recent interview revealed the secret of her happy marriage is that both of them are very different people. While Rishi is extremely tidy, Akshata is messy. She is also less outgoing than Rishi but this is likely to change now as she has become the First Lady of the UK.
