Satyam office

Following India’s biggest accounting scandal, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories has informally asked Mr Palepu to resign from its board where he is an independent director.

A source in Dr Reddy’s Lab told ET that the company’s senior management has sent feelers to Mr Palepu to quit.
The company’s board is meeting on January 20 to consider the December quarter results. Mr Palepu’s role is expected to be discussed at the meeting. <b>Mr Palepu was a non-executive director on Satyam’s board, which cleared the books cooked under B Ramalinga Raju’s leadership.</b> “We have not heard from Mr Palepu so far,” a source at Dr Reddy’s said. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Remember the genius who lost 70%+ of his proposed blocks to edits in CA went on to claim 'victory'? Prof Palepu probably was keeping up with Witzel's or Harvard tradition to not rely on those silly things like Maths or Ethics.
