Sikka says 'personal' attacks reason behind resignation
August 18, 2017
The Infosys board has accepted Vishal Sikka's resignation with immediate effect. NDTV reports that Dr Sikka cited "personal" attacks as one of the reasons for
his surprise resignation.
"In his notice of resignation to the board, Dr
Sikka reiterated his belief in the great potential of Infosys, but
cited among his reasons for leaving a continuous stream of distractions
and disruptions over the recent months and quarters, increasingly
personal and negative as of late, as preventing management's ability to
accelerate the company's transformation," Infosys said in a statement.
"The
board understands and acknowledges Dr Sikka's reasons for resignation,
and regrets his decision. In particular, the board is profoundly
distressed by the unfounded personal attacks on the members of our
management team that were made in the anonymous letters and have
surfaced in recent months," Infosys added.
"As
the board has previously stated, a series of careful investigations
found no merit to the unsubstantiated and anonymous allegations that had
been asserted. The Board denounces the critics who have amplified and
sought to further promote demonstrably false allegations which have
harmed employee morale and contributed to the loss of the company's
valued CEO," the board further said.
