Back In Currency
More than a year after he was unceremoniously ousted from his hi-profile job at Britannia Industries, Sunil Alagh is slowly moving back into the spotlight. The 57-year-old Alagh, who set up his own consulting firm, SKA Advisors, after 29 years at Britannia, the last 14 as its CEO and MD, is said to be consulting for his old friend Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw's company, Biocon. Alagh, whose outfit offers consultancy services in marketing and brand building, has also joined the board of Gati, a logistics and express cargo firm. How's life as a consultant after years of marketing FMCG? Alagh couldn't be reached for comment, but one would imagine that he's missing all the print space he'd hog as Britannia's CEO. (However, he seems to be making a comeback of sorts there too; he was sighted on a page three recently). Another thing that Alagh would probably be missing is the company expense account. But, then, we'd rather not talk about it.
Still The Bete Noire
Infosys must love to hate its one-time protege, Phaneesh Murthy. Not only did the 41-year-old give the venerated software company its first taste of a sexual harassment suit, but now as the CEO of iGate, Murthy just can't seem to keep his hands off Infosys employees. In a span of nine months, he poached five senior Infosys executives, including one in charge of the Canada operations. Now he's lured over Srinjay Sengupta, Infy's head of European operations. This should hurt Infy a bit. Sengupta used to head a 1,500-member team that fetched nearly 18 per cent of Infosys' revenues. Poaching Infy employees is one thing, creating another Infy, quite another.
