"There is no discussion on this (Nilekani's replacement) as of now," an Infosys spokesperson said today.     

According to industry sources, Mohandas Pai, HR head and a board member, is likely to succeed Nilekani. However, when asked the company declined to comment on this.     

"There are two things — one is as a member of the Board he (Nilekani) has resigned and the Board has to decide whether he needs to be replaced or not. Right now there are no discussions on that," Infosys CEO Kris Gopalakrishnan said talking to private television news channel CNBC TV18.     

"On his executive role, other people will take over ... we have exceptional leadership. Infosys will manage this without loosing any momentum as we have done in the past," he added.     

Analysts also feel that leadership transition would not be a problem for Infosys. From Narayana Murthy to Nilekani to Kris now, it has always been a glitchless affair, they pointed out.     

Nilekani yesteray resigned as Infosys co-chairman and a board member. The board has accepted his resignation.
