Infosys reported on Friday that Lax Gopisetty, the chief of its subsidiary Infosys Public Services, is currently unreachable. This situation arises in the wake of the severe floods that have impacted Nepal, leading to significant disruptions in communication and infrastructure.
Infosys Public Services, a subsidiary of IT services major Infosys, is mainly focused on the public sector in the US and Canada. Before joining Infosys, Gopisetty was a Managing Director at Accenture, where he led a segment of the Health and Public Services business in North America. At least 320 Indians remain missing, and 400 others are stranded on the Chinese side following devastating flash floods along the Nepal-Tibet border, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said on Friday, adding that India stands ready to extend all possible help to Kathmandu to deal with the situation.
Gopisetty was visiting the region in a personal capacity, the Bengaluru-headquartered IT company said in a statement, adding that its immediate priority was to ensure his safety and well-being. “We can confirm that our colleague Lax Gopisetty, who was visiting the region in a personal capacity, is currently not reachable,” Infosys said. He has also built high-growth practices at BearingPoint, IBM, PwC, and HCL, according to the Infosys website.
