Infosys Claims Poaching by Two Cognizant Executives
Mint Ahmedabad
|June 24, 2025
Fight goes back to August 2024 when Cognizant accused Infosys of stealing trade secrets
A fresh row has erupted between Infosys Ltd and Cognizant Technology Solutions, just when it appeared that their battle over trade secrets was nearing an end. Infosys has named two Cognizant officials—chief people officer Kathryn Diaz and president of the company's Americas business Surya Gummadi—as having documents pertaining to the case and for allegedly being involved in poaching its employees that slowed the development of its own healthcare software product, according to court documents seen by Mint.
The new twist to the ongoing legal battle between the two software services companies comes after Infosys, on 9 January, first accused Cognizant chief executive Ravi Kumar S of deliberately delaying the rollout of its healthcare product, Infosys Helix, as he was in talks for the top job at the Nasdaq-listed company.
