Whistleblower case: Infosys writes to clients as allegations reveal dissent

Infosys has written to clients, apprising them of the developing situation on whistle-blower allegations and subsequent investigations by the company and regulators, said sources in the company.

Analysts said the relationship of the Bengaluru-headquartered information technology (IT) major with its clients was unlikely to be affected by the recent developments, but the complaints of the whistle-blowers reflected internal dissent in the company.

“From the point of view of clients this will have little or no impact,” said Peter Bendor-Samuel, founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of global IT outsourcing consultancy firm Everest Group, adding: “They don’t care about accounting practices and where the CEO is travelling. Their experience with Infosys has been good and that is what they care about.”
