Infosys’ board appoints Ashiss Kumar Dash as CEO-designate, with him set to succeed Salil Parekh as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer in 2027. All reports say the transition follows the completion of Parekh’s current tenure, with Dash scheduled to take over on April 1, 2027, subject to shareholder approval as referenced in one outlet.
The appointments come as Infosys continues an “AI-led transformation,” a theme cited in multiple accounts. Sources also note that Dash has a long association with the company, describing it as spanning more than 30 years. Parekh’s departure is also framed as occurring at the end of his second term, which is expected to conclude in 2027.
Separately, at the time of the announcement, Infosys reports first-quarter results that include a slight revenue miss. In response, the company trims its full-year revenue growth forecast. The leadership change is therefore reported alongside broader performance and outlook updates, rather than as a direct response to them.
