Downplaying the public differences with founders, especially Narayana Murthy, Infosys’ CEO Vishal Sikka told investors that the company’s strategy was working despite challenging environment.

Addressing investors at a Kotak Securities conference, Sikka said that in the two and half years since he took charge as the CEO, the company’s revenues have grown from $8.2 billion to $10 billion.

He added that $100-million accounts had increased to 18 from 12 and $200-million accounts have increased to six from three. “Learnability will be a critical thing in future. Infosys Learning Platform is to teach our employees in what is happening in the world and in the company so the learning is accelerated. One of the most interesting programmes is a global leadership programme with Stanford. We have invested in onsite learning. Design thinking training has become an integral part of Infosys now,” Sikka said.

Sikka said that allegations of corporate governance were “distracting”.

“My relationship with the founders is wonderful,” Sikka said. “All this drama that’s been going on in the media, it’s very distracting, it takes away attention, but underneath that there is a very strong fabric that this company is based on and it is a real privilege for me to be its leader.”
