Rishi Sunak's Infosys Connection Becomes Fodder For Memes

Rishi Sunak has become the 57th Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the first Indian-origin person to hold the office. The historic event in British politics has sparked a meme fest on the Internet that has found mentions of everything from the Kohinoor diamond to Mr Sunak's resemblance to former Indian cricket player Ashish Nehra and of course his connection to IT giant Infosys.

Rishi Sunak happens to be the son-in-law of Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy. Highlighting this, many have churned out a number of rib-tickling memes on Twitter and we have cherry-picked some for you.

“Infosys acquires Britain not by law but by in law,” a user quipped.

Besides the memes, congratulatory wishes have been pouring in for Rishi Sunak for winning the race to lead the Conservative Party and taking charge as the new PM of the UK.

We are confident he will do his best for the people of the United Kingdom.” 

Rishi Sunak is married to Narayana Murthy and Sudha Murthy's daughter Akshata. They have two daughters named Krishna and Anoushka Sunak.
