With Vishal Sikka’s exit from the company, Infosys has not just experienced a plunge in its share value but it also has resulted its board members in an uncertainty. The IT giant of India appointed COO UB Pravin Rao as its interim CEO and currently, in search of a capable boss to lead.
The growing pressure on board members is making it a tougher challenge and like in the past, ‘Infosys may choose an external candidate and CEO job is going to be even more difficult now.’ Difficult because the industry is facing challenges of Brexit and uncertainty in United States. So, the hunt for new talent has not confined to be entry level jobs but it also has stretched to top-job in the company as well.
However, the company’s chairman Seshasayee told the reporters that ‘Infosys would not look for a major change in cultural and strategy and was confident it could still attract talent.’
Sikka, who exited from company on Friday, cited continuous distractions and criticism from Founder Narayana Murthy led him to quit with immediate effect.
