In an interview with Business Today, Infosys CEO Nandan M. Nilekani was quoted as saying, "We have to drive the benefit of both scale and the spirit of "smallness" that we try and foster within Infosys. We have broken up the company into several smaller units and I try and meet as many people as I can personally. There is a defined career path for each Infoscion and senior managers will mentor them on reaching their targets."
