Non-performers may have to leave: N R Narayana Murthy

NEW DELHI: Software services giant Infosys, which employs 1.5 lakh people, may hand over pink slips to those who “did not add value” despite “high salaries” as the company looks to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency.
Infosys executive chairman N R Narayana Murthy, who returned last June from retirement to head the firm and put it back on high growth trajectory, told analysts on Wednesday, “One of my tasks was to ensure that the identified people who were receiving very high salaries but were not contributing as much as we wanted, were either given opportunities where they can add value to the company or they could seek opportunities elsewhere.”
