People familiar with the development told ET NOW that Sandeep Dadlani is the front-runner for the CEO post among internal candidates. The other candidates who have made it to the internal short-list include Manish Tandon and Ravi Kumar. Sources also said that Infosys president UB Pravin Rao is not in the fray and may quit soon.
While Srinivas' sudden exit increased the probability of an external candidate, people familiar with the process said the board is currently evaluating both internal and external candidates.
Dadlani is the global head of retail, CPG and logistics, a segment that accounts for nearly a fifth of Infosys revenues. While Manish Tandon heads life sciences, Ravi Kumar heads insurance, cards and payments segment.
While executives who know Dadlani have described him as "very smart" and "sharp" in various conversations, they have expressed concern that he may not be ready for the top job. One of the key concerns is that he has only had experience running a unit so far and not an enterprise.
Infosys started a CEO search process last month after its current co-founder and CEO SD Shibulal's decision to step down before his term ends in March 2015. While Development Dimensions International was tasked with finding internal candidates, Egon Zehnder was appointed to short-list external names. The final decision will be taken by the Nominations Committee, comprising board members KV Kamath, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw and Seshasayee.
The CEO search comes amidst a series of top-level exits in the last year, including three board members and CEO-hopefuls Ashok Vemuri, V Balakrishnan and BG Srinivas. With an entire generation of leaders now out of the company, Infosys may have to decide quickly on a succession plan to calm investors and shareholders. The Infosys stock plunged by over 7% a day after BG Srinivas stepped down. The internal distractions also come at a time when Infosys is struggling to play catch-up with rivals after years of lagging peers due to its badly timed Infosys 3.0 strategy.
Traditionally, the Infosys corner office has been a bastion of the founders but that will end with Shibulal's term. However, there is now growing clamour to bring back former CEO and co-founder Nandan Nilekani from former board members such as Mohandas Pai and V Balakrishnan as well as employees in the Infosys campus.
