If you look at the startup ecosystem...it is a very interesting space. A lot of business models there are not traditional models,” he said.<br /><br />He said as a traditional CFO you learn about profit maximisation, efficiency, productivity and value maximisation. But in startups, business models are being reviewed, he said. “Typically, in companies like Infosys, you don’t retire as a CFO. Look at Mohan (Mohandas Pai) and Bala (V Balakrishnan). They found something else to do. I have been here for 16 years. I am now 43 and I have spent three years as CFO,” he said.<br /><br />Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka said it is very sad to see that Bansal is leaving, but said he is pursuing opportunities outside. “We have in Mavinakere, an experienced person to replace him, a balanced leader with tremendous ability, knowledge, and integrity. We have had a very stable top management, the entire team is still with us. In the course of our careers, these things happen,” he said.</div>
