Will be with Infosys as long required: Nilekani
Bengaluru, Aug 25 (IANS) Nandan Nilekani, the co-founder of global software giant Infosys, on Friday said he will be with the company as its non-Executive Chairman till it was “stable” and “on its path of full potential”.
In an investors’ call that had over 600 participants, Nilekani said: “I plan to be here (with the company) as long as it is necessary and I will not be here as soon as I am not necessary.
“I have a set of tasks to accomplish — the CEO search has to be done, the Board has to be reconstituted and the business has to be stabilised”.
“I will be there as long as it takes and will work as hard as necessary to make sure Infosys is on its path of full potential,” he said.
Issues related to the business of the company like strategies, transformation plan etc., will be discussed with investors in October, Nilekani added.
“We will make sure we continue to remain an iconic company that has been held in high regard for its achievements and driven by a great team,” he said.
Nilekani, 62, who was CEO of Infosys from March 2002 till April 2007 and its Vice-Chairman, quit the company in 2009 to head the Unique Identification Authority of India as its first Chairman till May 2014.
He had to “pause a lot of things” because he had to come back to Infosys, Nilekani told the investors, adding that he was “fully committed” to all the shareholders.
After the software firm’s first non-founder executive Vishal Sikka resigned as the CEO on August 18, Nilekani returned to the company as a non-Executive Chairman of the Board on Thursday.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards.
