Newly appointed non-executive chairman of Infosys Nanadan Nilekani speaks at a press conference at the company’s headquarters in Bengaluru on 25 August 2017. A week on, the auditorium at the Infosys campus was abuzz with palpable energy as the cameras flashed at co-founder and newly appointed chairman Nandan Nilekani. To over 600 participants including analysts, investors and journalists, all of whom had dialled in to listen to the new non-executive chairman, Nilekani came across as a stern headmaster who means business. Another analyst echoed the sentiment, saying Nilekani’s return has had the desired effect of calming stakeholders. Already, Nilekani has asked his colleagues to not engage with the media, according to an executive who didn’t want to be named.
