"Global
economic uncertainties continue to face the industry. We have increased employee wages, used some of our cash in a transformational acquisition of a consulting business and enhanced our investment in R&D and solutions," Infosys CEO and Managing Director S D Shibulal said.
These initiatives will position us well in the industry and provide a strong platform for future growth, he added.
Rajiv Bansal, at present Vice President (Finance) will take over as CFO from November 1, 2012, the filing said.
For FY2012-13, the company said it expects its rupee revenue to be at least Rs 39,582 crore or Rs 395.82 billion (a year-on-year growth of 17.3 per cent).
