Oracle director quits

BANGALORE: Software major Oracle India’s director for public services, Dipankar Sanyal, unexpectedly resigned from the company on Monday.

The market is agog that Sanyal's exit is related to the major PR debacle Oracle faced during the videoconference addressed by Larry Ellison, when the commercial tax commissioner of the Madhya Pradesh government pointed out that a 13 crore project has been grounded due to faulty implementation of the Oracle database software.

Oracle scoffed at such suggestions and said, "Sanyal left, in order to pursue other career opportunities."
