Overview
- Infosys confirmed late Friday that Lax Gopisetty, head of Infosys Public Services, is currently not reachable after flash floods struck the Nepal–Tibet border while he was travelling privately.
- The company said it is working with relevant agencies to gather information, trying to establish contact with Gopisetty, and remaining in close communication with his family while providing support.
- India’s Ministry of External Affairs reported at least 320 Indians still missing and about 400 stranded on the Chinese side, and said 153 people have safely crossed back into Nepal while 21 reached New Delhi after arriving in Kathmandu.
- Rescue and repatriation efforts are continuing under coordinated but logistically difficult operations that involve Indian consular teams, Nepalese authorities and Chinese counterparts.
- Gopisetty leads the Infosys Public Services unit that advises public-sector clients in the US and Canada, and the case underscores the personal toll on families and the need to watch for updates on contact, rescue outcomes and further repatriations.
