#Infosys started trending on the popular social media site soon after news of Sikka resignation broke early morning on Friday.

Post demonetisation, old 'sikkas' not working. 'Vishal' change in #Infosys. Old guard wins.

Good time for Nikesh Arora and Vishal Sikka to form a startup. Both got screwed by old-timers refusing to let go.
