New Delhi: Co-founder of India's iconic IT Company Infosys and the chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) Nandan Nilekani has finally returned to Twitter. Nilekani had closed his Twitter and Facebook accounts after he took charge as the Chairman of UIDAI in July 2009. His Twitter handle Nandan Nilekani @NNilekani, so far has over 450 followers and five Tweets. He introduces himself as Chairman of UIDAI, author of Imagining India, philanthropist and former entrepreneur and a resident of Bangalore / New Delhi.
He is currently not following anyone. According to him, he joined Twitter, two days ago.
Nilekani's return to social media assumes a lot of significance, following reports of him contesting the next Lok Sabha polls from Bangalore South on Congress ticket. Even though, he is tightlipped about his desire to seek a direct election to Parliament, people close to him confirm that he will most likely take on BJP's five time sitting MP and national general secretary Ananthkumar from the prestigious Bangalore South constituency. Bangalore South is home to a lot of IT professionals and it also has a cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Nandan Nilekani was born and brought up in Bangalore. He co-founded Infosys, chaired by NR Narayanamurthy and five others as founding members in 1981.
