Eight years after he relinquished all responsibilities at Infosys to take on the task of building the Aadhaar infrastructure, Nandan Nilekani has returned to the company he co-founded in 1981.
Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO of outsourcing research firm Everest Group, said Nilekani’s return to Infosys signals a commitment from the board to try and heal the divisions between board members, between board and founders, and internally within the ranks of Infosys employees. But he said the board changes do not by itself self-resolve the underlying issues that caused this split.
