New Delhi: Do you know who the better half of Britain's next Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is? She is Akshata Murty. She is an Indian. She is fabulously rich thanks to her billionaire father, a fortune that is attracting controversy as ordinary people reel from a cost-of-living crisis.

Sunak's father-in-law, 76 yr old N.R. Narayana Murthy, co-founded tech giant Infosys in 1981. The outsourcing behemoth now worth around $75 billion helped drive India's transformation into the "back office of the world".

One of only two non-Americans in Fortune magazine's 2012 list of the "12 greatest entrepreneurs of our time", the Infosys chief's life-changing moment came in 1974 when he was locked up for four nights in communist Eastern Europe.
