Chennai: iGATE Global Solutions has announced the resignation of Mohan Sekhar as Chief Delivery Officer (CDO) of the company and as a Member of the Board. Sekhar joined iGATE as CDO in November 2003. Prior to that, he was with Infosys Technologies. "He has made significant contributions to the delivery function. He came on board with a four year perspective of helping iGATE in its transformation effort," said Phaneesh Murthy, CEO, iGATE. The company is planning to delist its shares from the Indian stock exchanges, for which an open offer exercise, at Rs 410 a share, was recently completed. But the parent firm, iGATE, would continue to be listed on the NASDAQ in the U.S. Sean Narayanan will take over as Head of IT Services Delivery. "Narayanan has over 17 years experience in IT and management consulting both in the US and India. He has been with iGATE for over a year as Senior Vice-President. Prior to joining iGATE, Sean was Vice-President and Global Practice Head of IT Infrastructure Services at Cognizant," a statement from the company said. "This is the logical end for me at iGATE. With the delisting, I am not sure what changes would occur in the company. There would be a cultural shift. It won't be an India-listed company any more. To me that is important, to be listed here and to have an India brand," said Sekhar.
