Nandan Nilekani To Ease Infosys’ New CEO Salil Parekh’s Transition

21 views Reading Time: 2 minutes
Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani will oversee a smoother transition of running the country’s second-largest software exporter once CEO-designate Salil S Parekh takes over in January, learning from the culture clash encountered during former chief executive officer Vishal Sikka’s tenure. Sikka, a former executive of SAP, led Infosys from his office in Palo Alto in the US for three years before he quit in August citing personal attacks.

“Parekh is very capable hand but has never been a CEO of public traded large firm. That was also the issue with Sikka. Both Infosys and Sikka underplayed the issue of change management,” said Sanchit Vir Gogia, founder and CEO of Greyhound Research. “Hopefully, Parekh will have the cover of Nilekani. That makes a huge difference.”
