"Thierry found it difficult to win the hearts of a traditional Indian IT firm'

Delaporte had said "I look forward to building a better tomorrow for all its stakeholders." Since 2020, the value of the company's stock and market capitalisation grew by 2.5X.

But the Frenchman could not complete his five-year tenure and as Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO of Everest Group, a research firm, puts it, "As a European it was difficult to win the hearts and minds of a traditional Indian IT services firm and this undoubtedly also contributed to flagging morale."
