Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy, who had shed executive role seven years ago and finally retired as head of Infosys in August 2011, on Saturday decided to start a second innings as the executive chairman of the company, which is in crisis. His son, Rohan, has been appointed as his executive assistant. The father-son duo would draw a token compensation of Rs 1 per year.
“This calling was sudden, unexpected, and most unusual. But, then, Infosys is my middle child. Therefore, I have put aside my plans-in-progress and accepted this responsibility. I am grateful,” Murthy said.
