Sikka's wife quits Infosys Foundation

Vandana Sikka, wife of former Infosys CEO and MD Vishal Sikka, has quit as Chairperson of Infosys Foundation, USA.

“Today, I am writing this email to let you know that I have decided to move on from my role as the chairperson of Infosys Foundation USA. But as we know, a person’s passions are not bound by the entities that house us temporarily,” Vandana said in her letter.

Vandana, who holds a Masters degree in computer science, was invited by the Infosys board to join the IT doyen’s philanthropic efforts in the US.

“We acknowledge the immense contribution made by Vandana in leading various initiatives of the Foundation over the last 2.5 years,” Infosys said.
