“N R Narayana Murthy, one of India incorporated's much-celebrated icons, and chairman and chief mentor of Infosys Technologies, the country's second-biggest software services exporter, will step down from his position on August 30 this year.
Citing company rules as the reason, Murthy said that at the age of 60, people relinquish their executive positions. He said that he would be thrilled and privileged if the Board in its meeting on July 10 and July 11, decided to ask him to continue as non-executive chairman, while the role of chief mentor goes to a smarter person.
The Infosys Board will announce the name of the successor to Murthy on July 11, 2006.”
I myself am a big fan of this idol and consider him as one of my awesome personality list! His son, Rohan was my schoolmate and now that makes me ask when will he return from Harvard. All this for my first post at GeeksWithBlogs! :)
