Vishal Sikka’s two SAP colleagues set to join Infosys

BANGALORE: Two of Vishal Sikka's closest colleagues at SAP are joining Infosys, marking the company's first major external appointments since Sikka took over as CEO in August. The new hires—Michael Reh and Sanjay Rajagopalan—will help Sikka drive Infosys' product strategy.

TOI had reported on August 22 that Reh and Rajagopalan, who were part of Sikka's CTO team in SAP, had quit the German enterprise software company. Reh was executive VP for business information and technology, and Sanjay Rajagopalan was head of design and special projects at SAP.

The day TOI's report appeared, Reh retweeted the following tweet: "Life is short. Work somewhere awesome."

Sources told TOI that Reh and Rajagopalan would be joining Infosys as senior VPs based out of Germany and the US, respectively. Infosys said it could not comment on the matter.
