Infosys President Ravi Kumar S has resigned effective October 11, the IT behemoth said in an exchange filing on Tuesday, without explaining why the company veteran decided to leave.
New York-based Kumar, who has served in various roles and capacities during his 20-year tenure, was the third highest-paid executive of the company after Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh and former Chief Operating Officer UB Pravin Rao, according to its latest annual report.
“The board of directors placed on record their deep sense of appreciation for the services rendered by Ravi Kumar S. for his contributions to the company”, the regulatory filing said.
An external spokesman declined further comment, citing the silent period ahead of the company’s earnings report release on October 13. After taking on the role of company president in 2016, he led the Infosys Global Services Organization across all industry segments, and spearheaded digital transformation, consulting, technology, engineering, data and analytics, cloud and infra services.
He was widely tipped to be the company's COO, but Infosys later did away with that post last year following incumbent UB Pravin Rao's retirement, PTI reported.
