Amitabh Chaudhry, who grew Infosys’ BPO revenues to $250 million last year from around $85 million in 2006, submitted his resignation to the company in order to pursue other professional opportunities, an Infosys BPO spokesman confirmed on Monday.

“It is a professional move, however he will be around the company for some time,” an Infosys spokesman told ET. He declined to provide details about how long Mr Chaudhry will serve the company.

Mr Chaudhry took over from Akshaya Bhargava in 2005 to lead Infosys’ BPO business as its CEO, and played an instrumental role in several strategic initiatives including $38 million acquisition of McCamish Systems earlier this month. During his tenure, Infosys’ BPO revenues grew at around 72%.

Both Mr Chaudhry and Mr Mohandas Pai, Infosys’ head of HR could not be reached for comments on Monday. At the end of September this year, Infosys BPO had 16,033 employees on its payroll, down from around 17,327 professionals the company employed last year.

Infosys’ revenues from back office business were also marginally down to $71.3 million during the September quarter, from almost $72.5 million reported during the same period of last year. Full News
