The board of Infosys Technologies, India's second-largest software exporter, is expected to discuss the leadership transition of CEO Salil Parekh during a meeting scheduled for Thursday, coinciding with the announcement of the company's fourth-quarter FY26 earnings. Parekh, who is 61 years old, is unlikely to receive a third five-year term due to the company's retirement norms, which set the normal retirement age at 60. While his current term ends in March 2027, sources indicate he may receive a two-year extension to facilitate a succession plan. Under Parekh's leadership, Infosys' market capitalization has surged to ₹5.44 lakh crore, more than two and a half times its previous value. The company aims to maintain stability during this transition, especially after experiencing significant talent losses during past leadership changes. Investor concerns regarding the potential impact of AI disruptions and the winding down of key deals have heightened interest in the leadership discussions. Analysts, including those from BNP Paribas, have noted that these issues are critical for investors considering Infosys shares.
