Infosys Limited

On July 2, 1981, seven engineers gathered in a small Pune apartment to launch what would become a global powerhouse. N.R. Narayana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani, N.S. Raghavan, Kris Gopalakrishnan, S.D. Shibulal, Ashok Arora, and K. Dinesh built the company from scratch without any external funding. Their first major contract came just a few years later, proving that Indian talent could deliver complex software solutions to international clients. The firm moved its headquarters to Bengaluru shortly after its early growth phase and has remained there ever since.

Today the organization employs over 250,000 professionals across more than 50 countries. It operates on a hybrid delivery model that combines offshore centers in India with nearshore and onshore capabilities worldwide. This structure allows the company to offer business consulting, IT outsourcing, and digital transformation services ranging from legacy modernization to artificial intelligence integration. Recent financial reports for Q1 FY2026 show revenue of approximately Rs 48,211 crore ($5.8 billion) with a net profit of Rs 7,775 crore.

The company recently announced a collaboration with Sentara Healthcare in June 2026 to integrate AI into hospital operations. Industry analysts note that major AI entities like OpenAI and Anthropic utilize Infosys as a go-to partner for enterprise rollouts. Despite facing headwinds from proposed U.S. H-1B visa fee hikes and deliberate shifts away from low-return deals, the firm continues to adjust its pricing discipline and segment leadership. [edit]
