The fortunes of the Indian IT industry today are linked to the ebb and tide of a globalised economy. That said, Infosys is beset with internal problems. Clearly, its top management is out of sync, both among themselves and with the external environment. That Narayana Murthy has not been able to stem the high levels of senior staff attrition points to the intensity of the problem. "Infy" the brand had outgrown its current levels of performance and urgently requires an upgrade. In the decade after Murthy's departure, Infosys, like other IT majors, acquired a more evolved and innovative set of hands. Today's IT is not about tomorrow but the day after and beyond. The job profile of a chief executive officer can only fit a younger and energetic pathfinder to enthuse and pilot these young men and women through newer challenges even as he keeps the company's growth and profits in sight.
