"I apologize for this inadvertent and improper tweet on Rohan Murty - I agree it was incorrect to do so," she tweeted on Wednesday after several corporate governance experts slammed her for disclosing proceedings that were part of a board meeting.
The tweet on Saturday had said: "At a recent Infy board meeting, I was most impressed by Rohan Murty's brilliant tech-loaded presentation, which will enormously benefit Infy." The tweet has since been deleted.
Corporate governance experts said it was inappropriate on Shaw's part to say anything about board proceedings in public. On Wednesday, Shaw who was inducted into the Infosys board in December last year, explained the tweet saying: "I guess I just wanted to express my opinion on a matter that has been so strongly criticized."Rohan Murty's entry into Infosys as Murthy's executive assistant has been criticized by many. Murthy had previously said that children of the co-founders would stay out of Infosys, but Rohan's entry looked like Murthy was going back on his word.
For those who long saw Infosys as setting high governance standards in Indian industry, this came as an unpleasant development. Murthy and the company have consistently maintained that Rohan's term would be coterminous with that of Narayana Murthy, the suggestion being that Rohan would leave the company when Murthy's five-year term ends. But given his current deep involvement in Infosys, many still believe that Rohan is there for the longer term.
