Salil Parekh, the Chief Executive Officer and managing director at Infosys, has assumed a pivotal role on the board of directors at the US India Strategic and Partnership Forum. An industry luminary with an extensive three-decade tenure in the IT services realm, adept at orchestrating business turnarounds and steering successful acquisitions, Parekh, in his capacity as CEO of Infosys, delineates the strategic trajectory for one of India’s preeminent IT behemoths, while cultivating a resilient leadership ensemble to propel its implementation.

The recent inclusion of Salil in the USISPF Board accentuates the saga of triumph for Indian IT giants in the United States over the years. Infosys, a ubiquitous name in India, stands as a vanguard in the realm of IT services, constituting a substantial chunk of India’s prime exports to the United States, as highlighted by Mukesh Aghi, the President and CEO of USISPF.

In an epoch dominated by the digital economy and digital commerce, the success of Infosys in the United States serves as a testament to the burgeoning synergy in technological alliances, elucidating the pivotal role played by India’s robust technological prowess in fortifying and proliferating the technological sector in the United States, remarked Aghi.

John Chambers, the Chairman of USISPF, asserted that Salil and Infosys’ involvement on the USISPF Board will foster a crucial interdependence between the two economies by solidifying digital commerce, ultimately cementing India’s status as a global innovation collaborator—an ethos at the core of the organization’s mission.

Expressing enthusiasm, Chambers stated, “I’m delighted to welcome Salil, a leader with an illustrious track record in the IT industry, to the USISPF Board. Infosys’ influence in the American tech landscape has been profoundly consequential, with the company playing a pivotal role in India’s software exports reaching nearly USD 200 billion for 2023.”
