The Infosys stock was languishing from 2011.The relentless exodus of its top men reflects the pessimism on its growth potential. The company even after its multi- exponential growth, persisted with its founders as the CEO with centralised control over commercial decisions.This multi billion dollar megalith felt no need to fill up the position of COO since May 2012 !.In the last decade like others ,Infosys too acquired a more intellectually evolved set of hands. But these men were never brought into the line for grooming as the baton kept passing on from one founder to another.The company's loyalty to its founders had perhaps continued to rate above the interests of its share holders.
The advent of Sikka,a rank outsider that too with a technology background, will be a twin experiment for Infosys that grew on providing service support.Today's IT is not even about tomorrow but the day after and beyond. If today Infosys is evaluating itself, others like Wipro would be better off to start their exercise at the earliest on similar lines.The only enemy in IT,has been time .
