Infosys Public Services CEO Lax Gopisetty has been reported unreachable following devastating floods in Nepal, with the Indian technology company saying it is working with relevant agencies to establish contact with him. Gopisetty was visiting Nepal in a personal capacity when communications with him were lost, Infosys said on Friday. The company added that its immediate priority was to ensure his safety and well-being. Infosys, headquartered in Bengaluru, said it was aware of the situation involving Gopisetty and was working to gather information about his whereabouts.

“We can confirm that our colleague Lax Gopisetty, who was visiting the region in a personal capacity, is currently not reachable,” the company said in a statement. It did not provide details about his last known location or the circumstances in which contact was lost. The company said it is coordinating with relevant agencies as efforts continue to establish contact with Gopisetty. The development comes as Nepal deals with the aftermath of severe flooding, which has disrupted transport and communications in several areas and triggered rescue and search operations.

The scale of the flooding has raised concerns over people who were travelling through affected regions when the disaster struck. Infosys also said it remains in close communication with Gopisetty's family and is providing all necessary support during the difficult period. The company has not indicated that it has confirmed his safety, and efforts to locate him are continuing. Further information about his status is expected as authorities and other agencies involved in the search gather more details.

Gopisetty serves as chief executive officer of Infosys Public Services, a subsidiary of Infosys that focuses primarily on public-sector technology services in the United States and Canada.  His role places him at the helm of the subsidiary's operations serving government and public-sector organisations in those markets. Infosys Public Services operates separately from the broader travel circumstances surrounding Gopisetty's personal visit to Nepal. The report of Gopisetty becoming unreachable comes amid widespread concern over the impact of the floods in Nepal and the safety of people caught in affected areas.

With communication and access disrupted in some locations, authorities and families have been working to establish contact with those whose whereabouts remain unknown. For Infosys, the immediate focus remains on determining Gopisetty's whereabouts and ensuring his safety. The company said it is working with the relevant agencies and maintaining communication with his family while those efforts continue. No further details about his condition or location were immediately available.
