Infosys on Thursday named Sanghrajka as the interim CFO.
The appointment was done after his predecessor M D Ranganath surprisingly resigned in August, raising questions over the stability at the country's second largest IT services firm.
The board is in the process of selecting the next CFO and named Sanghrajka as the interim CFO Thursday.
Infosys has seen a number of senior-level exits including Rajesh Krishnamurthy (former President), Sangita Singh (ex-healthcare business head) and former independent director Ravi Venkatesan.
