No immediate proof to support whistleblower complaints: Infosys

INDIAN IT giant Infosys on Monday (4) said that it hasn’t obtained any evidence to prove the allegations in a whistleblower letter received last month.

The complaints are still under probe, and the company is not in a position to determine “concreteness, credibility and materiality of complaints,” Infosys said.


According to reports, the complaint by a group that calls itself "ethical employees" had alleged chief executive officer Salil Parekh and chief financial officer Nilanjan Roy were indulging in "unethical practices" to boost short-term revenue and profits.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began a probe into the claims, and its Indian counterpart, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), asked the company to submit information on the complaints.

In a communication to India’s National Stock Exchange (NSE), Infosys said: “With respect to the anonymous complaints, there is no prima facie evidence that the company has received until date to corroborate any of the allegations made.”

Since the allegations were not deemed material, the company was not obligated to disclose them, Infosys said in response to the NSE’s query why it had not disclosed the anonymous letter it received.

The Bengaluru-based company’s chairman, Nandan Nilekani, said earlier that Parekh and Roy, who was also accused of wrongdoing in the letter, were recused from the board’s probe.

Former chief executive Vishal Sikka quit the company after a whistleblower complaint.

The committee began consultation with independent internal auditors EY and has retained law firm Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co to conduct an independent investigation, Nilekani noted in his statement to the stock exchanges earlier.

Infosys last month had said the whistleblower's complaint has been placed before the audit committee as per the company's practice and that it would be dealt with according to the company’s policy.

ELI LILLY said on Thursday it will increase the UK list price of its weight-loss drug Mounjaro by up to 170 per cent. The price change comes as the White House urges drugmakers to raise prices in Europe to enable price cuts in the United States.

The new price, which also applies to Lilly's type 2 diabetes medicine sold under the same name, will take effect in September. A month's supply of the highest dose will rise from £122 to £330, the company said.

Last week, US president Donald Trump imposed an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods because of India’s continued purchase of Russian oil. This brought the total duty on Indian exports to 50 per cent, among the highest for any American trading partner.
