26 Nov 2009
A senior executive at Infosys Technologies' business process outsourcing (BPO) arm has resigned, a spokesman said on Thursday, three days after the division's chief executive quit.
Joydeep Mukherjee was heading the knowledge process outsourcing services at Infosys BPO, the spokesman said without giving details.
On Monday, Amitabh Chaudhry, who took over as the chief executive of Infosys BPO in March 2006, had submitted his resignation. He will serve out his notice period till 15 January, his last working day in the company.
T V Mohandas Pai, director and head of human resources, said on Wednesday that the BPO arm of Infosys Technologies Ltd will have a new chief executive by the end of January.
Chaudhry's abrupt departure was surprising. ''He was a star. We wanted to keep him but he had a good opportunity and had made up his mind about it,'' Pai said. ''Amitabh was instrumental in ramping up our BPO business from $85 million when he took over in 2006 to around $335 million (Rs1,540 crore) now.''
Infosys BPO, which employs about 16,000 staff, offers finance and accounting, human resource and legal services outsourcing. The unit's revenue grew 26 percent to $316 million in the fiscal year to March 2009.
