Infosys BPO likely to get new chief by Jan 15: Mohandas Pai

MUMBAI: Infosys BPO is likely to get a new Chief Executive Officer by January 15, a top company official said.

Its CEO, Amitabh Chaudhry, quit the firm on November 23.

"We will announce the appointment of a new CEO by January 15," Infosys' Member of the Board, T V Mohandas Pai, told reporters on the sidelines of a conference here today.

The IT firm would first scout for a suitable candidate from within the organisation but would also look externally, Pai said.

Chaudhry, who took over as CEO of Infosys BPO in March 2006, will, however, remain the acting chief for the period, Pai said.
