Not in fray for Infosys top job: Ashok Vemuri

Infosys has also reached out to B G Srinivas, who currently is the global managing director for PCCW Group in Hong Kong

Former Infosys executive Ashok Vemuri has rejected an offer from the company to be its chief executive officer, an indication that efforts of its chairman Nandan Nilekani to lure its alumni working at global companies to head India's second-largest software exporter will be tough.

Vemuri had quit Infosys in 2014 after founder N R Narayana Murthy overlooked him for the top post and brought Vishal Sikka as the company's CEO. Since then, Vemuri moved to mid-sized IT services firm iGATE and helped its promoters sell the company to Capgemini before joining Conduent, a technology services firm carved out of Xerox.
