Former SAP board member Vishal Sikka will be appointed as the new CEO and managing director of Infosys.

Sikka says he is humbled to lead Infosys, an iconic pioneer in IT. He will take over from current Chief Executive S D Shibulal, one of the engineers who founded Infosys, on August 1.

The Vadodara-born Sikka is the first non-founder CEO of Infosys. His name has been doing the rounds since Sikka, 47, resigned from the German business software maker early last month.
