DATAQUEST IT PERSON OF THE YEAR 2022 

SALIL PAREKH CEO & MD, Infosys

Parekh has been a pivotal force in setting the strategic compass of this IT Bellwether and in creating a strong team for executing ambitious growth paths. He packs about three decades of IT services’ industry experience – specially with a global vantage point. His impact has been remarkable in areas like digital transformation projects, in marquee business turnarounds, and in paving successful acquisitions.

At Infosys, he has been ingeniously driving new innovation levers and portfolio moves. The consistent and solid performance of this IT giant can be attributed to a clear, and well-steered, strategic direction. Parekh has accomplished this through a big-picture acumen and smooth execution of digital capabilities. He has also shared in interviews about how building strong cloud capabilities—with Infosys Cobalt, along with AI and data analytics capabilities— has accelerated the company on a future-forward lane. His focus on empowerment of employees with strong digital skills—is also a key catalyst in this execution of a fresh and bold vision.

He is proud and passionate about bringing it all together as one unifying transformational approach called ‘One Infosys’. What’s hard to miss in his journey is how this foresight served the company really well and helped it tide through some recent difficult global situations. It was possible because the leaders and their teams were well-equipped to help clients move to the cloud, embrace data analytics and cloud security.
