Bangalore: T V Mohandas Pai, who quit Infosys and its Board of Directors in a surprise move last week, has received an offer from Bangalore University to co-chair the proposed Bangalore School of Economics.
“We want him to co-chair the proposed school of Economics,” Bangalore University Vice-Chancellor N Prabhu Dev, who has written to Pai, told.
He said the University was keen on leveraging the vast experience and expertise of Pai, who is an alumni of the University.
“He is articulate and dynamic. Narayanan Murthy (Infosys chief mentor) himself has described Pai as the key anchor builder of Infosys. We think Pai could put the Bangalore School of Economics on the national map”, he said.
The proposed Bangalore School of Economics would be on the lines of Delhi School of Economics,for which the University is awaiting clearance from the Academic Council and Syndicate.
