With CXO level exits and elevations, there is room at the top in Infosys. It is time to spot the rising stars.

Economic Times reports that Nandita Gurjar (head-HR), Stephen Pratt (head of Infosys Consulting), UB Pravin Rao (head- retail, CPG and life sciences), Prasad Thrikutam (head - energy, utilities, communications and services)
are likely to join Infosys Executive council, a top decision makinbg body.

Nandita Gurjar in particular is on a rising wicket. With the exit of the overbearing boss Mohandas Pai, her footprint will enlarge.

Next management changes to watch in Infy: elevations to board and the new COO to replace Shibulal, though there is talk that Infosys may not opt to continue this role.



Infosys, which is going through its biggest management transition, plans to induct four new members to its executive council - the highest decision making body below the company's board - people familiar with the discussions said.

The executive council, which grooms future leaders of the company, is likely to see four new faces in the next three months, according to people familiar with the development.

Stephen Pratt (head of Infosys Consulting), UB Pravin Rao (head- retail, CPG and life sciences), Prasad Thrikutam (head - energy, utilities, communications and services) and Nandita Gurjar (head-HR) will be the four new additions on the EC and an announcement to this effect will be made in August. In response to an e-mail query, Infosys said: "We will not be able to comment as this is speculative in nature."
