Murty's speech at the 2023 Conservative Party Conference Recorded 4 October 2023
Akshata Narayana Murty (/ˈʌkʃʌtɑːnɑːˈrɑːjʌnʌˈmuːrθi/; born 25 April 1980) is an Indian heiress, businesswoman, fashion designer, and venture capitalist. Since 2009 she has been married to Rishi Sunak, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and leader of the Conservative Party. According to the Sunday Times Rich List, Murty and Sunak hold the 275th rank for the richest people in Britain as of 2023[update], with a combined wealth of £529 million (US$645 million).[1][2]
In 2022, her personal wealth became the topic of British media discussion in the context of her claim of non-domiciled status, an arrangement seen as benefiting the "super rich". Murty later voluntarily renounced the fiscal benefits from her non-domiciled status.[2][3]
She is the daughter of N. R. Narayana Murthy, a founder of the Indian multinational IT company Infosys, and Sudha Murty. She holds a 0.93-per-cent stake in Infosys along with shares in several other British businesses.[4][5][6]
