While there was no immediate confirmation from Accenture on the development; sources indicate that his role will be based out of Melbourne in the senior management team of Accenture.

He not only took care of global sales Infosys BPO, but also handled the energy and utilities services area. In his earlier roles at Infosys BPO, Jayaraman has taken care of emerging geographies like Australia and New Zealand.
 
Jayaraman's departure will mark the second exit at Infosys BPO over the last one month and the sixth senior management exit at Infosys over the last three months. Earlier this month, Humberto Andrade, the Latin America BPO head of Infosys resigned to join Capgemini. Since NR Narayanamurthy’s return to Infosys, senior executives like Ashok Vemuri,  head of America & head of manufacturing & engineering; Basab Pradhan, global sales and marketing head and Sudhir Chaturvedi, financial services head for America; have put quit.
 
Experts say, while it will be unfair to attribute the recent exits to the current restructuring at Infosys, it is imperative for the management to arrest attrition at the earliest to prevent depletion of company resources and protect employee morale.
