Interestingly, N R Narayana Murthy's son Rohan Murty has the second largest holding with 1,58,99,564 shares or 1.38 per cent share in the firm.
Murty was often considered as a front-runner for the top job at Infosys. The speculations gained traction, especially after senior Murthy was last year brought back from retirement to the helm of affairs after the firm posted lacklustre results.
Rohan joined Narayana Murthy as his executive assistant, fuelling rumours that Rohan was being groomed for the top job at the country's second largest software services firm.

The Gopalakrishnans held 3.41 per cent stake, while Dinesh and Shibulal along with family members held 2.7 per cent and 2.18 per cent stake, respectively.
