Infosys was founded by seven engineers in Pune, Maharashtra, India, with an initial capital of $250.[9] It was registered as Infosys Consultants Private Limited on 2 July 1981.[10] In 1983, it relocated to Bangalore, Karnataka.
The company changed its name to Infosys Technologies Private Limited in April 1992 and to Infosys Technologies Limited when it became a public limited company in June 1992.[11] It was renamed Infosys Limited in June 2011.[12]
An initial public offering (IPO) was floated in February 1993 with an offer price of ₹95 (equivalent to ₹690 or US$8.20 in 2023) per share against a book value of ₹20 (equivalent to ₹150 or US$1.70 in 2023) per share. The IPO was undersubscribed but it was "bailed out" by US investment bank Morgan Stanley, which picked up a 13% equity stake at the offer price.[13] Its shares were listed in June 1993 with trading opening at ₹145 (equivalent to ₹1,100 or US$13 in 2023) per share.[14]
Infosys shares were listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange in 1999 as American depositary receipts (ADR). It became the first Indian company to be listed on Nasdaq.[citation needed] The share price surged to ₹8,100 (equivalent to ₹35,000 or US$420 in 2023) by 1999, making it the costliest share on the market at the time. At that time, Infosys was among the 20 biggest companies by market capitalization on the Nasdaq.[13] The ADR listing was shifted from Nasdaq to NYSE Euronext to give European investors better access to the company's shares.[15]
In July 2010, then-British Prime Minister David Cameron visited Infosys HQ in Bangalore and addressed Infosys employees.[16]
In 2012, Infosys announced a new office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to serve Harley-Davidson.[17][18] Infosys hired 1,200 United States employees in 2011 and expanded the workforce by 2,000 employees in 2012.[18]
In April 2018, Infosys announced expansion in Indianapolis, Indiana.
In July 2014, Infosys started a product subsidiary called EdgeVerve Systems, focusing on enterprise software products for business operations, customer service, procurement and commerce network domains.[19] In August 2015, assets from Finacle Global Banking Solutions were transferred from Infosys, thus becoming part of the product company EdgeVerve Systems' product portfolio.[20]
Its annual revenue surpassed US$10 million in FY 1995, US$100 million in FY 1999, US$1 billion in FY 2004, and US$10 billion in FY 2017. Its most up to date report, as of December 2023, shows US$18 billion.[21]
Products and services
Infosys provides software development, maintenance and independent validation services to companies in finance, insurance, manufacturing and other domains.[22]
Its key products and services are:
NIA – Next Generation Integrated AI Platform (formerly known as Mana)
As of 31 March 2018, Infosys had 82 sales and marketing offices and 123 development centres across the world with major presence in India, United States, China, Australia, Japan, Middle East and Europe.[27][28]
In 2019, 60%, 24%, and 3% of its revenues were derived from projects in North America, Europe, and India, respectively. The remaining 13% of revenues were derived from the rest of the world.[29]
Infosys's presence in Russia came under scrutiny after Russia had started the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Infosys issued a clarification stating that they did not have active relationships with Russian firms.[30][31]
By November 2022, the only people working there were administrative staff helping with transferring the existing contracts to other contractors.[32]
Over a period of time, the shareholding of its promoters has gradually reduced, starting from June 1993 when its shares were first listed. The promoters' holdings reduced further when Infosys became the first Indian-registered company to list Employees Stock Options Schemes and ADRs on NASDAQ on 11 March 1999.[57] As of 29 July 2021, the promoter holding was 12.95%, foreign institutional investors (FIIs) hold 33.39%, and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) hold 21.98%.[58]
Infosys shareholding and stakeholders pattern (as of 4 September 2023)[59]
Infosys had a total of 259,619 employees (generally known as "Infoscions") as of 2021, out of which 38.6% were women.[29] Out of its total workforce, 229,658 are software professionals and remaining 13,796 work for support and sales.[29] In 2016, 89% of its employees were based in India.[60]
During the financial year 2019, Infosys received 2,333,420 applications from prospective employees, interviewed 180,225 candidates and had a gross addition of 94,324 employees, a 4% hiring rate. These numbers do not include its subsidiaries.[60]
In its Q3FY22 results in January, Infosys has reported that attrition has risen to 25.5%, from 20.1% in the September quarter. It has announced a profit of Rs 5,809 crore for the third quarter and said it is planning to hire 55,000 freshers for FY22 as part of its global graduate hiring program.
Training centre in Mysore
As the world's largest corporate university, the Infosys global education centre in the 337 acre[61] campus has 400 instructors and 200+ classrooms,[62] with international benchmarks at its core. Established in 2002, it had trained around 125,000 engineering graduates by June 2015.[62] It can train 14,000 employees at a given point of time on various technologies.[63][64]
The Infosys Leadership Institute (ILI), based in Mysore, has 196 rooms and trains about 4,000 trainees annually.[64] Its purpose is to prepare and develop the senior leaders in Infosys for current and future executive leadership roles.
The Infosys Training Centre in Mysore also provides a number of extracurricular facilities like tennis, badminton, basketball, swimming pool, gym and bowling alley. It has an international level cricket ground approved by BCCI.
CEOs
Since its establishment in 1981 until 2014 the CEOs of Infosys were its promoters, with N.R. Narayana Murthy leading the company in its initial 21 years. Dr. Vishal Sikka was the first non-promoter CEO; he held the position for around 3 years.[65][66][67] Sikka resigned in August 2017. After his resignation, UB Pravin Rao was appointed as Interim CEO and MD of the company.[68] Infosys appointed Salil Parekh as chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director (MD) with effect from 2 January 2018.[69][70]
In 2021, Infosys was positioned as a leader in the Forrester Wave Application Modernization & Migration Services.[72]
In 2021, Infosys was positioned as a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data and Analytics Services.[73]
In 2020, Infosys was ranked No. 1 in the HFS Top 10 Agile Software Development 2020 report.[74]

In December 2019, the Attorney General of California, Xavier Becerra announced an $800,000 settlement against Infosys and its BPM (business process management) subsidiary. Close to 500 Infosys employees were working in the state on Infosys-sponsored B-1 visas instead of H-1B visas between 2006 and 2017, as per an official post available on the website of State of California.[87][88]
This misclassification resulted in Infosys avoiding California payroll taxes such as unemployment insurance, disability insurance, and employment training taxes.[89][90]
Accusation of visa fraud in the US
In 2011, Infosys was accused of committing visa fraud by using B-1 (visitor) visas for work requiring H-1B (work) visas. The allegations were initially made by an American employee of Infosys in an internal complaint. He subsequently sued the company, claiming that he was harassed and sidelined after speaking out. Although that case was dismissed it,[91] along with another similar case,[92][93][94] brought the allegations to the notice of the US authorities – and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and a federal grand jury started investigating.[95]
In October 2013, Infosys agreed to settle the civil suit with US authorities by paying US$34 million.[96] Infosys refused to admit guilt and stressed that it only agreed to pay the fine to avoid the nuisance of "prolonged litigation".[97] In its statement, the company said "As reflected in the settlement, Infosys denies and disputes any claims of systemic visa fraud, misuse of visas for competitive advantage, or immigration abuse. Those claims are assertions that remain unproven".[98]
Malfunctioning income tax, GST and MCA portal
From 2016 onwards, after Infosys took over the contract from Tata Consultancy Services stakeholders complained about malfunctioning and low performance of portals multiple times. The Income Tax portal went down on the due date of multiple tax periods and taxpayers ended up paying late fees and penalties, and the government allowed the extension of due dates because of this.[99][100][101][102]
Government faced severe criticism from CAs, CSs and other stakeholders for its continuous failure to take action against Infosys and alleged that public fund is being heavily mis-utilised.[109]
