Ending speculations on who would succeed Nilekani,Gopalakrishnan also told the mediapersons that nobody was slated at present to fill Nilekanis position and the former co-chairmans responsibilities would get distributed among the brass.

A day after the Centre announced Nilekanis appointment in the rank of a Cabinet minister,Gopalakrishnan said the outgoing co-chairman had been handling some customers and was involved in brand initiatives and heading strategic teams. So,it (Nilekani’s responsibilities) will get distributed to other leaders in the company. Nobody is at present slated to be the co-chairman. So,it will get distributed to all of us, Gopalakrishnan said,

The NASDAQ-listed company also said Infosys had handled transitions in the past seamlessly and was confident of doing so this time also,given its depth of leadership.

Gopalakrishnan said Infosys would adhere to the highest level of integrity in the context of bidding for UID projects and is sure that Nilekani would bring in a level of transparency.
