IT services company Coforge has appointed former Bharti Enterprises vice-chairman Akhil Kumar Gupta as its chairperson and non-executive independent director for five years, effective Tuesday, as the company seeks to draw a line under a period of boardroom turmoil.
Gupta's appointment follows the abrupt resignation of former chairman and veteran banker O P Bhatt on September 9 after an internal audit found that he had withheld a board evaluation report that assigned his own performance category the lowest rating.
