Nandan M. Nilekani said he now has the huge responsibility of “putting in place the leadership structure”
As IT major Infosys commemorated its four decades of existence, its founders reminisced about the company's journey on Wednesday.
N.R. Narayana Murthy, Nandan M. Nilekani, S. Gopalakrishnan, S.D. Shibulal and K. Dinesh took a trip down memory lane at its campus in Bengaluru.
"I am the last of the jokers left," quipped Mr. Nilekani, the non-executive Chairman of the NASDAQ-listed IT company headquartered here.
Mr. Nilekani said he now has the huge responsibility of "putting in place the leadership structure, people with right values to take it [the company] forward".
Stating that putting the right persons at the top echelons of the company was the "biggest thing" on his mind, Mr. Nilekani said: "I haven't found a person who I can hand over [the charge]."
According to the company, the technology, protected by multiple international patents, facilitates the creation of a plastic-to-plastic circular economy, where commonly used plastics such as polyolefin packaging no longer need to be down-cycled, incinerated or landfilled at the end of their life. Instead, they can be continuously recycled in a closed-loop, without any loss of quality.
