This is the second time the senior leadership of Infosys’ HR division has changed. Shaji Mathew was appointed as the organization’s new worldwide head of human resources earlier this year. Krish Shankar, who retired in March, was replaced by Mathew. Mathew oversaw the Infosys centre in Mysore prior to this.
On July 20, the provider of IT services is expected to release its first-quarter financial results. The company predicted sales growth of 4–7% for FY 2023–23 at the Q4 FY23 earnings call.
Infosys Chairman Nandan Nilekani emphasised the company’s “solid foundation” in last week’s annual general meeting. In addition, he said that the company’s deal pipeline is “strong” because to the 95 sizable deals it closed previous fiscal year, totaling $9.8 billion.
At the same meeting, CEO Parekh voiced caution and noted that the weakening global economy had altered the general demand environment for IT services.
