How Infosys fared under its outgoing CEO & MD

After a challenging hunt for a CEO in 2014, Infosys finds itself in the same position again. While it remains to be seen who the new captain of the ship will be, after the dramatic exit of Vishal Sikka, here's a look at the performance of Infosys over the past three years.  

1.    Since Sikka took over, Infosys' stock outperformed the benchmark index and IT index; however, since May 2017, it has been underperforming

2.    The company showcased better operating efficiency compared to its peers under Sikka   

3.    Among leading IT firms, Infosys is the only company along with TCS to post double-digit growth for seven quarters in net sales (between June 2015 and December 2016), and has outperformed its peer in the last quarter

4.    Only once during Sikka's tenure the company's quarterly profits  declined on a year-on-year basis, unlike others

5.    The company was able to generate healthy profits with its shareholder money, next only to TCS

6.    Under Sikka's leadership, the tech giant made three acquisitions; however, the $200-million Panaya deal caused trouble
