BJP MLA Bellad claims credit for Infosys’ Huballi shift; Former CFO criticises move

A war of words has broken out between the Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Arvind Bellad and former Infosys Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Mohandas Pai on the company’s decision to incentivise employees to move to Huballi.

Bellad had accused Infosys of reneging on its commitment to create jobs while acquiring land for its massive campus. Pai, meanwhile, says companies cannot be bullied into moving people without creating necessary social infrastructure. Infosys, though, has refused to comment citing silent periods ahead of results season.
