India's second largest information technology services provider Infosys has elevated an insider to head its newly-launched innovation practice.
Purohit, who has also been promoted as a Senior Vive President, will head the platforms and solutions in the company.
It is learnt that though there were some external names under consideration for the post, the company preferred Purohit considering his track record as the Head of Planning.
A graduate in mechanical engineering from the National Institute of Technology, Srinagar, Purohit joined Infosys in December 2000.
Prior to this, he was with Tata Sons as a senior consultant in the Tata Quality Management Services. An Infosys spokesperson confirmed the development.
