somehow I feel that from CEO (whole-time directorship), principle officer having direct responsibility of running a huge organisation to c-chairman who has limited roles on the day-today activities and business plan of the company at a young age, shows some brewing inside stories of infy. Anything is possible in a corporate sector when fame and money is accumulated - don't go by the tailored speach and press releases - sooner or later you can hear Nilekani leaving infy and either starting his own or joining somewhere else as CEO (waiting for the entire ESOP's go get vested, together with a couple of more year's incentives and bonus?)
