Raghu Krishnan profiles the man in the eye of the storm at Infosys.
Praising Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejrival for some of the work he has done, Infosys Executive Chairman N R Narayana Murthy on Thursday said the Aam Aadmy Party leader needs to be reasonable with business.
The city-based firm had witnessed exits, especially of senior level executives, in the last couple of years and one of the main tasks before Vishal Sikka when he took over as the chief executive officer last year was to check the high attrition levels.
As a major contributor to exports, the IT industry has greater responsibility to perform better in view of the huge Current Account Deficit facing India, said N R Narayana Murthy, whose appointment as Infosys Executive Chairman was ratified by shareholders on Saturday.
He takes over from Ashutosh Vaidya, who will move into a full-time position as head of Global Delivery for Dell Services.
New strategy for Infosys by October, says Nandan Nilekani. New chairman's other priorities: Hiring CEO, reviewing Panaya probe reports.
'The problem is not the performance under Vishal Sikka, but the quality of Infy's board of directors, argues Debashis Basu.
'After some time, they all want to know what is happening in their companies.' 'It is better they remain board members rather than talk outside.'
Vishal Sikka talks about his chemistry with N R Narayana Murthy and about his plans to strengthen the leadership team.
