India’s second largest IT services firm Infosys on Thursday named former Bharti Airtel executive Nilanjan Roy as its chief financial officer.
In August, M D Ranganath had resigned as the CFO from the company, a surprise move that industry watchers said raised questions about stability at the country’s second largest IT services firm.
The company, in a statement, said its board of directors has appointed Nilanjan Roy as the chief financial officer of the company, effective March 1, 2019. Infosys, in November, said Jayesh Sanghrajka would serve as the interim chief financial officer as the company scouted for a replacement.
Sanghrajka will resume his responsibilities as deputy CFO, effective March 1, 2019.
Roy joins Infosys from Bharti Airtel, where he holds the position of global chief financial officer. He spent 13 years with Bharti Airtel, prior to which he worked for 15 years with Unilever across their global operations.
