Earlier this week, it was reported that Gopinathan, who left TCS in September, is joining Boston Consulting Group as a senior advisor to the technology, media and telecom (TMT) practice. Gopinathan will be advising in the capacity of an external consultant. BCG did not respond to ET’s queries.
“We have a tradition of active involvement of industry leaders in shaping our plans. As we look to advance our ambitious agenda of applied research and entrepreneurship, we are delighted to welcome Rajesh Gopinathan. His global exposure and experience in the rapid scaling up at TCS will play a pivotal role in taking our agenda to the next level,” said IIT Bombay director, Prof Subhasis Chaudhuri.
