![]() Your reappointment happened not too long ago. If anything, the 40-quarters (as TCS CFO and CEO) has taught me to bat straight. Well, that is something I wouldn’t even know today. Will you be open to taking positions in Tata Group? But all that discussion can happen after this is done. And it was the same question that if not today, is there a better time? To your opening question, whether I do something in the group or not in the group - that is up for discussion. We felt that that's a good enough period (6 months transition), that we can do it. He knows it and Krithi too knows that I will be always available at any point in time. What was Chandra’s (Tata Sons chairman) reaction when you told him about this? The day I start thinking about it (external ideas), I should get out and somebody else should do this job. I don't want to do that while I'm in this job. I will talk to a lot more people to get a sense (and) knock around a few ideas. Definitely, I will be using the next few months to crystallise my thoughts. What next? Will you remain on the TCS’ board? Have you been bit by the entrepreneurship bug? It's just about being transparent about it. I believe that while I do hold this role, I should be 100% focused on TCS’ future, not my future. I don't want to do that while sitting on this chair. Just because it is him sitting here and not me, that won't change because we are all on the same page on it.Īlso read | Meet TCS’ new boss K Krithivasan: soft spoken and non-flashy If it is an unstable situation, we will continue doing what we were doing. The extent of change, the extent of peaking will depend on both that visibility as well as the assessment of how stable the situation is. What changes Krithi makes will be dependent on an assessment of how volatile the environment is, where the opportunities are. Krithi has been there for longer than me. When Krithi (CEO-designate K Krithivasan) comes in, I'm going to be there. We are not massively changing (anything), I’m just walking out and saying that somebody else should take over. Yes, the operating environment is volatile, and it requires careful watching and careful navigation. There is never a good time for something like this, we are not in a crisis situation. Two years from now, will it be more stable than this? I have no reason to believe. If I compare this period to two years back, it's a period of fantastic stability (now). Is the timing of this move challenging for the company given that we have a looming recession and geo-political tensions that are impacting growth? Is there anything else that needs to happen? One year, two years later, which will change, which will make it the right time (to quit)? And when you start thinking like that? There is no better time than this (to leave).Īlso read | No dramatic transition talent pool deep in TCS: incoming CEO K Krithivasan But once the thought came into my mind, there was no good reason as to why not now. Of course, demand volatility, demand uncertainty will keep on happening.
