After Manish Tandon, Sanjay Purohit becomes the 7th top executive to leave Infosys since Vishal Sikka joined

Sanjay Purohit, executive vice presidents and former head of consulting at Infosys has resigned, as confirmed by the company. This makes Purohit the 7th top executive to quit since Vishal Sikka came on board the Bengaluru headquartered IT giant.

Purohit was formerly the head of the Edgeverve unit of the company. Later, he was shifted to the US last year to head the company's consulting division.

After Manish Tandon, who was EVP and head of healthcare and lifesciences, Purohit becomes the latest high ranked executive to move out.
While IT sector analysts suggest this kind of movement in the top ranks is a matter of concern, Sikka, brushed away those worries during his meet with analysts last month.

He, at the analyst event also announced that the company was splitting into smaller units with $500-700 million in revenues to be able to grow faster and build management capabilities.
