Fatherhood changes a man as much motherhood transforms a woman. This is precisely what Infosys founder Narayana Murthy experienced when he became a dad to a beautiful girl, Akshata. 

In his letter, which he penned a while ago, Murthy expresses his gratitude over how his daughter made him a better man. He traces his journey from being a king of an empire to the doting father he became.
