V Balakrishnan

Information Technology industry veteran V Balakrishnan on Thursday criticised the new digital rules, alleging that they appear to be unduly compromising the privacy right of citizens.

The former CFO of the IT major seeks replacement of ex-co-chairman Ravi Venkatesan and ex-Audit Committee Chairperson Roopa Kudva.

"The government should get leaders from the tech industry to be the CIO," said Former Infosys CFO V Balakrishnan.

In view of the current development it is all the more important to restructure the board and fill it with people of high integrity and stature, said V Balakrishnan

Hiring is going to be slower for the IT industry for the years to come, Former Chief Financial Officer of Infosys, V Balakrishnan said.

The promoters' keenness to participate in the buyback comes within days of upheaval at the Infosys board, which first saw CEO Vishal Sikka quitting citing slander by founders.

He is indeed a very valuable board member, says the independent director of Infosys.

A year-long stand-off between the founders and the management culminated in the sudden resignation of CEO Vishal Sikka on August 18.

V Balakrishnan has said that given the current situation, the Infosys board should consider getting Nandan Nilekani at the helm and asserted that the current chairman and co-chairman need to step down.

Narayana Murthy has done a great service to stakeholders by bringing corporate governance issues to the fore and requesting accountability from the board in the long-term interest of the company, V Balakrishnan said.

The former executive said while the pricing of Rs 1,150 apiece is "reasonably good", the board could have been more "forceful" in setting the price target for the buyback.

Former CFO V Balakrishnan also expressed concern over investigations around Infosys' Panaya acquisition deal.

Billionloans, led by Ex-Infosys CFO V Balakrishnan, is a technology-enabled financial services company focused on providing flexible and affordable loans to individuals and small businesses.

Following reports of layoffs and fears about further retrenchment in the slowdown-hit IT industry, there had been some talk in recent times about forming a union.

Tightening visa rules, particularly in the US and the UK - the industry's two biggest markets - would have short-term impact because, he said.
