Succumbing to pressure from co-founders and a clutch of investors, Infosys on Thursday named former CEO and Aadhaar-architect Nandan Nilekani as its new Chairman, replacing R Seshasayee.
Ravi Venkatesan also resigned as co-Chairman, but will continue as an independent Director. Vishal Sikka, who quit last week as CEO but was made Vice-Chairman till his successor was appointed, also quit the Board with immediate effect, the company said in a statement after its Board meeting.
