Infosys CEO-designate In his blog Timelessness, Sikka hinted that he did not foresee joining Infosys when he quit SAP in May. "Among the tons of calls that I received in the aftermath of the news (of his quitting SAP), there was one that was going to be very significant in shaping, in bringing about, another transition, both in my life and in that of a large company's," he wrote.
"Within a couple of weeks I found myself being swept by another massive wave. The iconic nature of Infosys, especially in India, made it impossible to delay the decision any longer, and I was announced as the next CEO of Infosys on June 12, scarcely 6 weeks after leaving SAP," he wrote in the blog titled Transitions and Anchors.
Sikka, who spent 12 years at SAP, was the executive member of the board in the German technology company. He will take over as Infosys CEO on August 1. "A great transition and its set of challenges and opportunities, awaits my new company, as well as every company in our industry, and indeed as software reshapes the world around us, every company in the world," he wrote.
Sikka says transitions at large companies are not different from personal ones. "
