The Infosys Story

In 1981, seven engineers started Infosys Limited with just US$250. From the beginning, the
company was founded on the principle of building and implementing great ideas that drive
progress for clients and enhance lives through enterprise solutions. For over three decades, we
have been a company focused on bringing to life great ideas and enterprise solutions that drive
progress for our clients.
We recognize the importance of nurturing relationships that reflect our culture of unwavering
ethics and mutual respect. It will come as no surprise, then, that 98 percent of our revenue comes
from existing clients (as of September 30, 2013).
Infosys has a growing global presence of more than 160,000+ employees worldwide, 73 offices
and 94 development centers in the United States, India, China, Australia, Japan, Middle East, and
Europe.
At Infosys, we believe our responsibilities extend beyond business. That is why we established
the Infosys Foundation to provide assistance to some of the more socially and economically
depressed sectors of the communities in which we work. And that is why we behave ethically
and honestly in all our interactions with our clients, our partners and our employees.

India's emergence as the global destination for software services talent. We pioneered the Global
Delivery Model and became the first IT company from India to be listed on NASDAQ. Our
employee stock options program created some of India's first salaried millionaires.

Building Tomorrow's Enterprise

Opportunities today have become inseparably linked with advances in IT. But we dont expend
effort to merely give our clients whats best for them today; we set our sights on what that effort
can grow into tomorrow and beyond. Fortifying their business and improving the way we live on
this planet. Were about pushing the limit of what is currently possible. Being audacious with our
ideas. And then executing these ideas to perfection.
Is that ambitious? Of course it is. But weve never let challenges prevent us from trying. And
more often than not, we succeed. For instance, we took engineering design methodology and
tools typically used in manufacturing to create a model heart. That heart is now a valuable
research and teaching aid, which is helping save lives bringing down time to diagnosis and
treatment. We were among the first to make large-scale use of light-weight advanced composites
(instead of metal) to design lighter planes for our client. These airplanes that burn 25% less
engine fuel now lead the next generation of commercial aircrafts. Our cloud-based solution is
enabling cars, the world over, to communicate with each other and with other devices, in
readiness for a world navigated by thinking, talking, and intelligent automobiles.
There are so many ways in which Infosys is working on tomorrow.
