Proxy firms recommend return of Nandan Nilekani on Infosys board

Move follows Vishal Sikka's stepping down as company's MD & CEO over 'personal attacks'

Proxy advisory firms have begun to endorse Nandan Nilekani for the top job at Infosys. According to one of the proxy firms, the company can be placed on a strong footing once again if Nilekani is brought back as the non-executive chairperson of Infosys.
 

The endorsement for Nilekani comes at a time when the Bengaluru-based technology major has begun evaluating both internal and external candidates as part of the CEO selection process, after the dramatic exit of Vishal Sikka on Friday.

Sikka said he preferred to quit the firm in lieu of the "personal attacks" being leveled against him.
