About Me

Nandan Nilekani is the cofounder of tech giant Infosys and its non-executive chairman since 2017. Nilekani, who left Infosys in 2009, was brought back in 2017 after a boardroom shakeup at the company and the sudden departure of its CEO. Nilekani is credited with building Aadhaar, India's mammoth identity card scheme, during his tenure as chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India. The tech magnate, who still has shares in Infosys, has backed Fundamentum, a venture capital fund aimed at technology companies. In 2023, he donated $38 million to the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, his alma mater, to expand research and infrastructure.
