Vishal Sikka, the 47-year-old former executive board member of German software company SAP AG, took charge of India's second-biggest IT services provider as Chief Executive on Friday.

Chief Operating Officer UB Pravin Rao said the company will be back to historic performance levels in a couple of years.
