Parekh expressed his confidence saying that the company possesses very strong leaders and that they would have a corporate structure which will operate for their clients as well as for their business.
Rao has worked in Infosys as its COO, where he holds the company’s strategic and operational responsibility for the company’s offerings from its entire portfolio. He operates the key workings of business enablement as well as global delivery.
