The families of four co-founders of Infosys Ltd. (INFO) sold about 65 billion rupees ($1 billion) of stock to capitalize on a gain in their price and to fund philanthropy.
Co-founders N.R. Narayana Murthy, K. Dinesh and Nandan M. Nilekani and their families sold 30.2 million shares at an average price of 1,988.87 rupees, according to an e-mailed statement today. The wife of S.D. Shibulal also sold 2.4 million shares, with all sales to institutional investors handled by Deutsche Bank AG.
India’s second-largest software services company this year hired its first chief executive officer that wasn’t one of the seven men who founded Infosys, with Vishal Sikka taking the role in August. The former SAP AG executive, who replaced Shibulal, is trying to boost profit margins and revive sales growth that lags behind its four nearest domestic rivals.
“Infosys founders are partly offloading their holdings to give the company a more professional look,” said Deven Choksey, managing director at K.R. Choksey Shares & Securities Pvt. “To a larger extent they have achieved it.”
Shares of Infosys fell 4.7 percent to 1,973.50 rupees as of 12:15 p.m. in Mumbai, paring this year’s gain to 13 percent.
Infosys has been the best-performing stock on the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex in the past two decades, having risen 64 times in value in the period versus a nine-fold gain in the index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The stock sales represent about 2.8 percent of the company’s shares and were done together to ensure an organized selldown with the founder group to continue hold stakes in the company, according to the statement.
“The sale has been done to partially monetize their stake, after more than three decades of nurturing the company,” the founders said in the statement. The sale is also “for personal reasons including for the betterment of society through various philanthropic activities.”
Infosys was founded in 1981 and has more than 161,000 employees, according to its website.
The company is trying to win contracts in an environment where companies want mobile applications to interact with consumers and rent shared computing services rather than maintain their own servers. Sikka has been meeting customers and employees as part of efforts to boost sales at Infosys.
In October, Infosys shares surged to a record after the company said it would issue stock as a dividend to shareholders and posted profit that beat analyst estimates.
Apple's hotly anticipated, highly secretive smart wrist watch was finally unveiled to the public on Tuesday in the form of Apple Watch, a device that the company said will define the emerging wearable devices market.
One of the most unique aspects of the Apple Watch is the "digital crown," a physical dial that rests on the right side of the device. Using this, users can interact with the device without a need to touch the screen, which would obscure it.
The crown button also acts as the home button, and can be pressed to return a user to the main screen. A button located below the crown allows users to quickly access contacts.
The face is also an input, with unique "tap" and "force press" gestures enabled by special electrodes capable of sensing pressure.
The Apple Watch comes with advanced sensors that turn on the display when a user raises their wrist. Sensors are also found underneath the watch, placed against a user's wrist, to gather data like heart rate information. T
For notifications, Apple integrated a "Taptic" feedback engine, which basically employs a linear vibrating motor that alerts only the user to incoming messages, events and more.
On the software side, Apple has integrated Siri, as well as app support like Maps, Photos and more in conjunction with a connected iPhone. Onboard sensors like an accelerometer and optical heart rate sensor add to the experience by tracking user activity.
One of the more interesting features is Digital Touch, that uses the Taptic feedback engine to send drawn messages — or even your heart beat — to friends. On the theme of messages, Apple has created a new adaptive language that intelligently processes incoming text and determines an adequate response.
Apple worked with horological experts around the world to understand the history and culture of watches, informing a universal design that can be worn all day.
Six different straps are available, including an elastomer-based sport band, leather loop with embedded magnets, leather band, classic leather buckle type, stainless steel and stainless steel mesh with magnetic closure.
The Apple Watch also comes in two sizes and three "collections." The vanilla Apple Watch series features a polished stainless steel case, the Apple Watch Sport boasts an aluminum chassis, while the Apple Watch Edition is the high-end collection and comes in "hardened" gold.
Apple Watch requires the iPhone, with compatibility for iPhone 5, 5c and 5s.
Pricing starts at $349 and will be available early next year. The new fashion-focused Apple Watch will come in a wide variety of styles and two different sizes, aiming to offer the right device for a each user's particular style and needs.
Apple's watch bands are made of elastomer-based sport band, leather loop with embedded magnets, leather band, classic leather buckle type, stainless steel and stainless steel mesh with magnetic closure. Some of the bands include hidden magnetic clasps to allow the accessory to be quickly worn or removed.
The Apple Watch is something of a departure for Apple, which historically has not offered a wide range of styles in its products. But the company's new wearable device will come in three distinct collections: A basic made of stainless steel, a sport version with an aluminum casing, and a high-end edition made of hardened 18-karat gold.

India trails China with 12 companies on the list, the same number as last year.
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HCL Technologies and HDFC Bank are among the 50 best public companies in Asia-Pacific according to a compilation by Forbes, which ranked India second behind China as home to the “world’s next growth engines”.
The Forbes 2014 ‘honour roll of the Fabulous 50′ lists best of Asia-Pacific’s biggest publicly traded companies. China has 16 companies on the list, more than any other country, a distinction it has enjoyed for the last three years. However, the number of Chinese companies on the list has gone down from 20 last year on the back of slow economic growth in the country.
India trails China with 12 companies on the list, the same number as last year. The Indian companies on the list are Asian Paints, Axis Bank, HCL Technologies, HDFC Bank, Lupin, Mahindra and Mahindra, Mothersome Sumi Systems, Sun Pharma, TCS, Tata Motors, Tech Mahindra and Titan.
HDFC Bank, India’s second-largest private sector bank, has made the list eight times, more than any other company since Forbes started the compilation in 2005.
TCS makes it to the list for the seventh time while Tech Mahindra, the country’s fifth-largest IT player, debuts on the list after net profits soared 112 per cent to touch USD 500 million. Indian conglomerate ITC failed to make it to the list this year. Forbes said TCS, India’s largest IT company, boasts a market cap of USD 71.25 billion, bigger than the country’s next 3 IT outfits combined.
“Long dependent on the US market, (TCS) may soon generate more than half its revenue outside the US,” the publication said. South Korea has six companies on the list, followed by Hong Kong with three and two each from Japan, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
Technology companies dominated the list with nine representatives. The consumer durables industry has the second most members with seven companies, including four motor vehicle giants from China and India, as the rise of Asia’s middle class continues to drive demand.
Three oil and gas companies make it into the rank, up from only one firm from last year. The list is chosen from a pool of 1,300 companies in the region that have at least USD three billion in market cap or annual revenue.
Forbes took into account performance measures and outlook and did not include companies that carried a lot of debt or were more than 50 per cent state-owned.
“It will be a people’s capital.” - CBN’s vision for the State’s Capital
The decision of locating the capital city at a central place around Vijayawada was arrived at keeping in view the importance of aligning governance, economic development, culture and arts for the betterment of Telugu people and meeting their aspirations. It is a reflection of people’s sentiments, and coincides with the views expressed in the representations made to Sivaramakrishnan Committee.
It is to be noted that nearly 50 per cent of the representations received by the Committee favoured Vijayawada-Guntur region as the best location for the capital area.
Ms Bishop described the crash as an "unspeakable crime" and called for Russia and Ukraine to support a full investigation through the UN Security Council.
She said Mr Morozov "provided that unqualified support...and assured me Russia would do what it could to find those responsible".
"I also asked him about whether Russian equipment – surface to air missiles or the like – could have been involved and he said not to his knowledge," Ms Bishop said.

• Pro-Russia rebels suspected of downing airliner • Ukrainian president condemns 'terrorist act' • World leaders react with shock and revulsion
The president of Ukraine has accused pro-Russia rebels in the east of the country of shooting down a Malaysia Airlines jet with a ground-to-air missile, killing all 298 people on board as the airliner exploded and rained down in fiery pieces over a rural Ukrainian village.
The huge loss of life threatens to have wide-ranging and unpredictable consequences, coming just after the US imposed further sanctions on Russia for continuing to provide weapons to the rebels. Defence and security experts said the Russian-made Buk surface-to-air missile system, known to be in the hands of pro-Russia fighters in Ukraine, was most likely used.
"This was not an 'incident', this was not a 'catastrophe', this was a terrorist act," said Ukraine's president, Petro Poroshenko.
A partial breakdown of passenger nationalities was released early on Friday, showing that 154 Dutch nationals, 43 Malaysians and 27 Australians were on board, along with nine passengers believed to be from the UK, four each from Germany and Belgium, three from the Philippines, one Canadian and 41 unverified. A group of international HIV/Aids experts flying to Melbourne were among those killed. Included in those numbers were the flight crew of 15, all Malaysian.
The jet, which was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, came down near the village of Grabovo, part of the area controlled by pro-Russia separatists, on Thursday.
It had been flying 1,000ft above restricted airspace, according to the European air traffic control body. Eurocontrol said Ukrainian authorities had banned aircraft from flying at 32,000ft or below and the doomed aircraft had been cruising at 33,000ft – however this apparently still left it within range of the sophisticated surface-to-air weaponry that pro-Russia forces have been using recently in the Ukraine conflict. All civilian flights have now been barred from the area of eastern Ukraine.
Malaysia's prime minister, Najib Razak, said: "If it transpires that the flight was shot down, we insist that the perpetrators must swiftly be brought to justice." His country was sending a disaster response and assistance team to Ukraine.
The Australian prime minister, Tony Abbott, said the world should be "filled with revulsion" at the plane's destruction and said "Russian proxies, using Russian-supplied equipment" may have been responsible. Australia's foreign minister, Julie Bishop, said that if MH17 had been shot down it amounted to an "unspeakable crime" and a full international investigation must be allowed to take place. She said pro-Russia rebels, said to have retrieved the plane's black box flight recording equipment, must hand it over to authorities.
In brief remarks the US president referred to the "terrible tragedy" and said efforts were under way to determine whether Americans had been killed. "The world is watching," he said. "The United States will offer whatever assistance we can to determine what happened and why." John Kerry, the secretary of state, made a statement of condolence and called for a "credible international investigation".
The British foreign secretary, Philip Hammond, said: "We do believe that there were British nationals on board the flight. We are working through passenger data, cross-checking it and referencing it to establish exactly the numbers and identities of those British nationals."

The field next to the tiny hamlet was a scene of charred earth and twisted metal as shocked local people milled around the scene. Body parts belonging to the 298 people on board were strewn around. The body of what appeared to be a young woman was flung about 500m from the centre of the crash.
US government officials confirmed to media outlets that a surface-to-air missile brought down the plane. US intelligence was reportedly still working to determine the exact location from which the missile was fired, and whether it was on the Russian or the Ukrainian side of the border.
Rebels in the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics have shot down several Ukrainian planes and helicopters in recent weeks. But they insisted they had no part in the downing of MH17, claiming instead that Ukrainian fire was responsible.

Ukraine's SBU security services released a recording, which could not immediately be verified, of what it said were rebel commanders saying they had shot down a plane and then discovering with horror it had been a civilian jet.
On the ground in Grabovo, a strong smell of aviation fuel and burnt rubber hung in the air as dozens of pro-Russian separatist fighters milled around to control access to the area in which workers from the emergency services were sifting through the wreckage. A dozen fire engines were on the scene.
One local resident, Alexander, was working in a field a few hundred metres from the crash site. He said he feared the aircraft was going to fall on top of him. Another farmer said he was on his tractor when he heard a loud bang. "Then I saw the plane hit the ground and break in two – there was thick black smoke," he said.
In a conflict that has not been short of unexpected twists, this was by far the most shocking and most gruesome to date. The 298 people aboard MH17 had no connection to the fighting except that their intercontinental flight was travelling through airspace above the battle zone.
Questions were being raised as to why Malaysia Airlines had continued to fly over such a volatile region, where separatists were known to be shooting at aircraft. Qantas, the Australian carrier, said it had been steering clear of the area by 400 nautical miles for several months. Malaysia Airlines said after the crash that it had altered its flight paths and other airlines either did likewise or emphasised they had already been taking alternative routes.
"With immediate effect, all European flights operated by Malaysia Airlines will be taking alternative routes avoiding the usual route," said astatement from the airline. It added: "The usual flight route was earlier declared safe by the International Civil Aviation Organisation. International Air Transportation Association has stated that the airspace the aircraft was traversing was not subject to restrictions."
Throughout the conflict, the versions of violent incidents provided by Kiev and the Donetsk rebels have diverged wildly, with each side blaming the other for loss of life and the shelling of residential areas.
Now, with such a huge and unexpected loss of life, the stakes are immeasurably higher, and both sides again rushed to claim the other was at fault.

Those blaming pro-Russia rebels for the attack pointed to a post on a social media site attributed to a top rebel commander which claimed to have downed a Ukrainian transport plane around the same time as the first reports of MH17's disappearance surfaced. The post was later deleted.
The US and EU have blamed Russia for providing the separatists in eastern Ukraine with logistical and military support, leading to a new set of White House sanctions against Russian companies, introduced on Wednesday, as rhetoric coming out of both Washington and Moscow has led to talk of a new cold war. Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Guardian that any allegations of Russian involvement in the tragedy were "stupidity".
He said the Kremlin would not make a further statement because "no one knows" who is responsible. Asked about the possibility of further US sanctions, Peskov said he could not rule it out: "The United States has recently been conducting a very nonconstructive policy, and their actions are very unpredictable," he said.
Putin himself, who on Thursday returned to Russia from a summit of the Brics nations in Brazil, informed Barack Obama about the incident.
"The Russian leader informed the US president of the report from air traffic controllers that the Malaysian plane had crashed on Ukrainian territory, which had arrived immediately before the phone call," said a statement released by the Kremlin.
According to the statement, the pair spent most of the conversation discussing the deterioration of US-Russian relations, and Putin expressed his "serious disappointment" over the latest round of US sanctions against Russian companies.
Later, Putin chaired a meeting on the Russian economy which began with a minute's silence, and laid the blame for the crash at Ukraine's door: "There is no doubt that the nation over whose airspace this happened bears responsibility for the terrible tragedy," he said.
Obama said the downing of the plane looked like "a terrible tragedy".
David Cameron, the British prime minister, tweeted: "I'm shocked and saddened by the Malaysian air disaster. Officials from across Whitehall are meeting to establish the facts."
Putin later spoke by phone to the Malaysian prime minister, Najib Razak, to express his "most sincere condolences" to the families of the dead.
The crash came four months after a Malaysia Airlines flight, MH370, vanished on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, two-thirds of them Chinese citizens. It has yet to be found despite a huge search.
The first rumours of improbable tragedy came as video appeared from villages nearby showing huge plumes of smoke rising into the air, and aviation sources told a local wire agency that a plane had been downed.
The first official confirmation came when Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's interior minister, wrote on his Facebook page that the plane had indeed crashed in Ukrainian territory, claiming it had been hit by a missile fired from a Buk launcher.
Malaysia Airlines soon confirmed the worst fears, noting via its Twitter feed: "Malaysia Airlines has lost contact of MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace."
Igor Sutyagin, a Russian military specialist at the London-based Royal United Services Institute, agreed that the plane would almost certainly have been hit from a Buk, a vehicle-mounted missile system first developed in the Soviet era. The Malaysian aircraft,was beyond the range of Manpads – shoulder-launched missiles. Kalashnikov-carrying Russian sympathisers in Ukraine would not have had the expertise to fire them and would have needed either specialists who had "volunteered" their services from Russia or locally recruited specialists, he said, but noted that the rebels had been firing at Ukrainian aircraft over the last week.
The Associated Press said one of its journalists had seen a similar launcher near the town of Snizhne earlier on Thursday.
Russia's state-owned Channel One avoided speculation of who might have been behind the plane crash in its first bulletins on the subject, while the Kremlin-friendly Life News, whose reporters were first on the scene, said it was likely to have been brought down by Ukrainian fire, claiming that the rebels did not have any missile systems with the capacity to down a plane travelling at that altitude.
However, a report on the website of Russian state television from late June described how the rebels in Donetsk had taken control of a Ukrainian missile defence facility which was equipped with Buk systems. The report said that the rebels planned to "defend the sky over Donetsk" using the missile system.
On Thursday afternoon a social media site attributed to Igor Strelkov, a Russian citizen who has emerged as the commander of rebel forces in Donetsk, announced that the rebels had shot down an An-26 Ukrainian transport plane, and also that there was "information about a second plane". The post was later removed.
'It's a civilian'
On Thursday night audio was being circulated on social media, apparently released by Ukrainian security services, purporting to be an intercepted conversation of pro-Russian rebels confirming they had shot down a civilian jet.
The conversation is apparently between a group leader and his superior and suggests that they initially thought they had brought down a military aircraft but later realised their error.
The group leader, "Demon", tells his boss: "A plane has just been shot down. [It was] 'Miner's' group. It crashed outside Enakievo. Our men went to search for and photograph it. It's smouldering."
After his men apparently inspect the crash site, Demon reports back. "Cossacks from the Chernunkhino checkpoint shot down the plane. The plane disintegrated in mid-air … they found the first body. It's a civilian."
He carries on: "I mean. It's definitely a civilian aircraft."
His superior, nicknamed "Greek", asks him: "Were there many people?"
Demon replies: "A fuckton. The debris rained right into the yards."
Greek asks: "What's the aircraft?" and is told: "I haven't figured it out yet. I haven't reached the main section. I only looked at where the bodies began to fall. There are remains of chair mounts, the chairs, the bodies."
Greek asks: "Any weapons there?" and Demon says: "None at all. Civilian things, medical stuff, towels, toilet paper." "Any documents?" asks Greek, and Demon, perhaps realising what has just happened, replies: "Yes, an Indonesian student from [a US] university."
The BBC's Jeremy Bowen: "Almost 70 years of conflict... and no prospect it will end"
Thousands of Palestinians are fleeing northern parts of Gaza after Israel warned it was targeting the area in its campaign to stop rocket attacks.
The UN says 4,000 people have already sought refuge in shelters as Israeli air strikes continue for a sixth day.
Israeli forces have raided a suspected rocket-launching site in Gaza in their first reported ground incursion.
At least 159 Palestinians have been killed since Israel's offensive began, according to health officials in Gaza.
The dead are said to include 17 members of one family who died in an Israeli missile strike on Saturday evening.
Israel says it is targeting Hamas militants and "terror sites", including the homes of senior operatives. However, the United Nations has estimated that 77% of the people killed in Gaza have been civilians.
The UN Security Council called for a ceasefire and peace talks on Saturday.

'Nowhere to go'
The military confirmed it had dropped leaflets over the city of Beit Lahiya on Sunday morning telling civilians to seek shelter.
"We do not wish to harm civilians in Gaza, but these civilians must know that remaining in close proximity to Hamas terrorists and infrastructures is extremely unsafe," the IDF said.
By 10:30 (07:30 GMT), more than 4,000 Gaza residents had taken refuge at eight bases of the UN Relief and Works Agency, spokesman Chris Gunness said.

"Hamas is an integral part of the population, and they are resisting from everywhere," he said.
"When Israel says, 'We dropped leaflets to evacuate the northern part of Gaza... we don't need collateral damage' - well, they have been bombarding all of Gaza. And where do these people have to go? There are no shelters, no bunkers, no place to go, except their homes. If they leave their homes, they will be hit on the street."
Early on Sunday, Israeli air strikes destroyed most of the security headquarters and police stations run by Hamas Islamist militants.
The homes next to the compound suffered extensive damage, as they are located in the densely populated neighbourhood of Tel al-Hawa in south Gaza, correspondents say.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its troops had also raided a site used to fire long-range rockets at Israel.

The rumormill is reaching a fever pitch when it comes to Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6, and one of the hottest new reports concerns the handset’s alleged A8 chip.
While we’ve been seeing a new A-series processor each year, there’s still been no definite confirmation that Apple plans to include the A8 chip in its next generation devices, especially since developers have yet to push the A7 to its limits.
With that being said, the Chinese media is claiming that the A8 will not only happen, but that it will blow the current A7 out of the water: boasting frequencies of 2.0 GHz or more per core (compared to the 1.3Ghz A7 SoC found in the iPhone 5s and Retina iPad mini, or the 1.4 GHz found in the iPad Air).
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard numbers like this. Renowned Apple leaker Sonny Dickson has thrown out figures as high as 2.6 GHz for the A8 in the past.
While many people were expecting the next-gen processor to feature more than two cores, however, the Chinese media report also states that the A8 will continue to use the 64-bit dual,-core architecture, and will be constructed using the 20nm process.
If true, this makes the iPhone 6 (and future iPad models) even more exciting. Yesterday we reported that Apple is reportedly expecting to sell an unprecedented number of the iPhone 6: with an alleged order to manufacturers Foxconn and Pegatron twice that of the iPhone 5. On the chipset front, while Samsung and TSMC are reportedly Apple’s main chip suppliers for the company’s upcoming iOS devices, TSMC is supposedly gradually taking over from Samsung in this role.
India trails China with 12 companies on the list, the same number as last year.
