On the day that Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani was brought in as the Board Chairman, analysts said that the move may allay investors’ fears in the short term, but over the long term, all eyes are on who the next chief executive will be.
“Nilekani(‘s) return to Infosys signals a commitment from the board to try and heal the divided between board members, board and founders and internally within the ranks of Infosys employees. Clearly Infosys needs to bring these stakeholders together and present a united front to the Industry, shareholders, and clients,” Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO of research firm Everest Group told Moneycontrol.
