"There is a lot of irresponsibility and maliciousness in what you see. You don't appreciate that... the people who are feeding the wrong stories to the media. Lot of people, bystanders, the Monday morning quarterbacks. It is a price you pay for being at Infosys. I try to not lit get to me. Life is too short,” said Sikka.

"There is nothing there. He was CFO at the time we went through the process. It was the first time we were doing it, so we were extra careful. My view is that too big a deal has been made out of Rajiv Bansal's severance, David's (Kennedy) severance, my compensation and Punita's (Kumar-Sinha) appointment,” said Sikka.
