In an email that was later published through her account as a blog post on Medium, she wrote, “I am writing this email to let you know that I have decided to move on from my role as the chairperson of Infosys Foundation USA. But as we know, a person’s passions are not bound by the entities that house us temporarily. And so no matter where I go, I am certain that I will continue to champion the same efforts that I have throughout this journey over the last 2.5+ years.”
Infosys Foundation USA is a philanthropic arm of the company which works towards inspiring children, young adults, and educators to become creators of technology.
