Infosys rejigs top management after weak Q1, moving talent to acquisitions and deals, Raghuram Rajan cautions against rupee depreciation, anonymous leak targets Jabong co-founder Praveen Sinha; JSW Energy to buy Jaiprakash Power's Bina unit


Infosys has moved top management into key roles in mergers and acquisitions, and large deal-making. The shift is likely an acknowledgement that Infosys needs to quickly acquire companies in the AI and automation spaces to manage industry shifts that are slowing down its growth. ET

The co-founder and former CEO of Jabong Praveen Sinha is the target of an anonymous twitter account, Unicon Baba. The account has leaked what it claims are excerpts of an internal PWC report; the report suggests that Sinha will soon have charges brought against him for siphoning over Rs. 100 crore from the company.
