Infosys BPO sees spate of senior level exits

Bangalore: Infosys BPO has seen a number of senior level exits in the last few months. Some attribute it to changes following the assignment of a more direct responsibility for the BPO business to the company’s former CFO V Balakrishnan. Others say there has been unhappiness among senior executives because the company did not give them a salary increment this year. Increments were given only to junior and midlevel staff.

Suranjan Pramanik, global business head for hitech , manufacturing and resources , and Purnima Menon , head of marketing, quit the company in the last twothree months. Pramanik was responsible for driving growth of manufacturing, the largest business unit at Infosys BPO. He previously held several leadership roles with Infosys Technologies.

Raj Reddy, associate VP and head of global talent planning in Infosys BPO, moved to CSS Corp as SVP and chief HR officer (global) in November this year. Around the same time, Ayan Chakraborty, AVP and Philippines country manager, moved out of Infosys BPO to join TCS e-Serve International as a senior VP and head of new and emerging business.

Michael Wong, delivery head of BPO business in China , responsible for client relations , business development and P&L accountability, quit the company a few months back. Ritesh Idnani, COO of Infosys BPO, had left in May to join ISGN, a US-based technology firm offering software solutions to financial services firms offering mortgage. Infosys spokesperson said, “ I would like to clarify that the information you have shared of exits has inaccuracies. Therefore, we believe the premise of your story is incorrect and we decline to comment on the story.”
