Infosys Profile
Infosys Profile
Infosys Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INFY) was started in 1981 by seven people with
US$ 250. Today, we are a global leader in the "next generation" of IT and
consulting with revenues of over US$ 4 billion.
Infosys pioneered the Global Delivery Model (GDM), which emerged as a disruptive
force in the industry leading to the rise of offshore outsourcing. The GDM is
based on the principle of taking work to the location where the best talent is
available, where it makes the best economic sense, with the least amount of
acceptable risk.
Infosys has a global footprint with over 40 offices and development centers in
India, China, Australia, the Czech Republic, Poland, the UK, Canada and Japan.
Infosys has over 91,000 employees.
Infosys takes pride in building strategic long-term client relationships. Over 97%
of our revenues come from existing customers.

Beyond Business
Infosys began its journey in India's business environment in the 1980s, in an era
when endless red tape was imposed on the private sector. In this environment,
building a company whose long-term objectives included operational longevity, high
ethical standards and global respect demanded commitment to a core set of values.
For Infosys, these values focus on instilling trust in our relationships with all
stakeholders, including employees, investors, clients, society and the communities
in which Infosys operates.
At Infosys, we believe that we must develop trust with the communities in which we
operate to achieve longevity as a corporation. Through the Infosys Foundation,
which receives a grant every year from Infosys (the last year's grant was US$ 3
million) we contribute to betterment of healthcare (hospitals, infrastructure),
education (books, scholarships, refurbishment of infrastructure) and skills.
Infosys emphasizes its commitment to investors through stringent corporate
governance. Infosys was also among the first Indian companies to voluntarily
comply with the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and now
provides financial results in the GAAP of six countries.
With employees from over 41 nationalities, Infosys has built an enduring value
system based on openness, honesty, fairness and transparency, which has earned us
the confidence and trust of our clients. We enjoy a +95% customer retention.
Infosys has built one of the largest corporate education centers in the world.
This 'finishing center', with an annual capacity of 15,000, provides engineering
graduates who aspire to be employees with the equivalent of a Bachelor of Science
degree in Computer Science from an American university.
