Doesn't surprise me one bit. Predicted this the day the appointment was announced – of course all thot I was wrong 🙂 https://t.co/YmAgvjYucE

Yes @s_v_g — you were right! Exactly what happened…..board and founders at each other's throats. https://t.co/nndTIoPk6V

Plus also, Vishal is a super amazing technocrat but running a publicly listed firm is another deal – not everyone's cuppa tea I'd say!! https://t.co/53zucOQYEM

But I genuinely feel sorry for Vishal – he was a great ray of hope for Infosys and they've lost a chance for change.. https://t.co/5WxOyqPrfE

IMHO Board and Founders cannot shrug off responsibility by merely saying one is #CTO material rather than #CEO material https://t.co/GbGNmKwmJ3

Also, with Vishal quoting personal attacks as his reason of departure, Infosys should worry about attracting talent.. https://t.co/BEUGJs9Kwb

For those keen, do read the note I wrote about @Infosys earlier this year – https://t.co/m3CsMqrD3Z – this can't be healthy for the company https://t.co/yfbPO1MV0K

IMHO Infosys founders must take ownership for the current state of affairs – the onus was also on them to ensure Vishal's success. Period. https://t.co/Y75siqFNSN
— Sanchit Vir Gogia (@s_v_g) August 18, 2017
Absolutely! Boards & Founders need to take ownership and work with CEOs to ensure #CEO and Company success https://t.co/gxYv2MSLd1

IMHO Also let's not forget this case paints us in rather poor light – Indian orgs not ready to accept global talent at senior mgmt level. https://t.co/30NXJWQ1sB
— Sanchit Vir Gogia (@s_v_g) August 18, 2017
IMHO Vishal's exit will affect Infosys' standing as an employer of choice and will hurt the company’s ability to attract global talent https://t.co/Uw8gJIvGlp
— Anshoo Nandwaani (@anshoo_n) August 18, 2017
IMHO also note that such public verbiage by Infosys founders will impact investor sentiment & hurt brand @Infosys…. https://t.co/XmhPAYoUVL

IMHO @vsikka was giving @Infosys the much needed shot in the arm and catch on the next wave of #ITServices – this will hurt the company…
— Sanchit Vir Gogia (@s_v_g) August 18, 2017
IMHO if someone of the stature of @vsikka says, "just couldn't do this anymore" it reflects more on the #Founders than him. Bad bad loss!
— Sanchit Vir Gogia (@s_v_g) August 18, 2017
IMHO @vsikka departure from @Infosys isn't just a departure from the company but fr the Indian IT services at large – he did shake things up
— Sanchit Vir Gogia (@s_v_g) August 18, 2017
IMHO @vsikka vision to transform @Infosys by #AI cud have taken co. to new heights alas board & founders focus wasn't on the big picture
— Anshoo Nandwaani (@anshoo_n) August 18, 2017
IMHO so, it took the loss of a solid leader like @vsikka for @Infosys board to realise the urgency on the need to solve the #Founder issue?!
— Sanchit Vir Gogia (@s_v_g) August 18, 2017
IMHO they shouldn't – if the board fails to take a stand at this critical juncture, they'll lose the chance of getting a new top-noche CEO.. https://t.co/PwZKIo4PPC
— Sanchit Vir Gogia (@s_v_g) August 18, 2017
IMHO a CEO worth his/her metal will never join @Infosys if their only task is to follow the existing strategy and imbibe the culture…
