- The company’s CEO, CFO, accused of using unethical methods to increase profits.
- Nilekani said – speculation about co-founders’ hand behind complaints is wrong
IT company Infosys said on Wednesday that speculation about the company’s co-founders and former employees being involved in complaints of whistleblowers resulted from poor thinking by some. Company Chairman Nandan Nilekani said – This was done to tarnish the image of the most dignified and respected persons. I highly respect the contribution of all the co-founders of the company. According to media reports, Nilekani said on the allegations of attempts to manipulate the financial data God can not change that.
A law firm investigating whistleblower allegations: Nilekani
Nilekani said that the Infosys co-founders acted selflessly. He remained committed to the success of the company for a long time. A law firm is investigating the allegations of whistleblowers independently. They will communicate their results to all concerned at the right time.
