Infosys Public Services CEO Lax Gopisetty has become unreachable after the catastrophic floods that struck Nepal. The IT services giant revealed that Gopisetty, who was in the region on a personal visit, is currently unable to be reached. The Bengaluru-based company is prioritizing his safety and wellbeing, working closely with authorities to establish contact.

Infosys is also providing unwavering support to his family during this trying time. The company expressed deep sorrow over the devastating floods that have claimed lives and left hundreds missing or stranded. At least 320 Indians are still missing, while 400 others remain stranded on the Chinese side due to flash floods along the Nepal-Tibet border. Indian authorities are prepared to offer any assistance needed to Nepal in managing the situation.
