Infosys Board to Discuss CEO Succession and Potential Extension for Salil Parekh

Infosys is preparing to discuss CEO Salil Parekh's succession as his current term ends in March 2027. Due to company retirement norms, Parekh, 61, is unlikely to receive a full third term but may get a two-year extension to facilitate a smooth leadership transition. Under his tenure, Infosys's market value more than doubled. The board's meeting, coinciding with Q4 FY26 results, aims to manage succession amid industry challenges like AI disruptions and past management upheavals.
