LTIMindtree has faced several challenges since the merger of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) subsidiary L&T Infotech and Mindtree in 2022.
The company has witnessed nearly two dozen senior-level exits and a fight for the top job, which analysts attribute to integration pains.
However, Venugopal’s appointment is seen as a positive step towards stabilizing the company’s leadership and positioning it for future growth.
