<p>Shrugging off a week-long upheaval at the board, Infosys employees stepped in to restore client confidence through a video saying they continue to focus on the "next big idea", unperturbed by the recent events at the company.<br /><br />The video, which was shared on Infosys' official Facebook page, received over 1,50,000 views and more than 2,100 likes. It had also been shared 786 times as on August 26.<br /><br />The said video -- posted on the same day (August 24) Infosys appointed Nandan Nilekani as its new Chairman -- starts with the caption: "The world is focusing on Infosys, what are you focusing on? We ask the Infoscions."<br /><br />Infosys, which has over two lakh employees, has been hogging headlines as the founders and the management engaged in a war of words -- often publicly on allegations of governance lapses at the company.<br /><br />Last week saw the founders staging a dramatic coup, bringing back co-founder Nandan Nilekani as its Chairman, replacing R Seshasayee. The entire episode has also seen exits of CEO Vishal Sikka and two other independent board members.<br /><br />The company has rushed into a damage control mode. Apart from the video featuring employees, Infosys also held marathon investor calls and a press meet within hours of Nilekani taking over on the evening of August 24.<br /><br />Nilekani has said his priorities include putting in place a long-term governance structure, bringing in stability at the firm and repairing relations with "valued iconic" founder NR Narayana Murthy.<br /><br />Besides, he is also reaching out to clients and employees to address any concerns they might have in the wake of these sudden changes.<br /><br />The video features young Infoscions making statements like "everyone seems to have an opinion about Infosys. I have one too. Nothing is going to stop us. Not this, not anything".<br /><br />Another employee is seen saying: "I have no control over what happens in the boardroom. What I have control over is my next big idea and how it is going to impact my clients".<br /><br />While an employee notes that the company has seen troubled times before, a colleague maintains that it's business as usual for the Bengaluru-based company.<br /></p>
