Infosys to hire 2,100 people in US for global presence boost

Infosys, the country's second largest IT services provider, said it plans to hire over 2,100 people in the United States as the company works towards scaling up its global presence and boost key work areas like client relationship management and consulting.

The software services major said on Thursday the hiring would include up to 300 management and technology graduates who would work across multiple technology domains including digital, big data, analytics and cloud.

Infosys will recruit up to 180 graduates into the company's consulting practice in the United States, the IT services major said.

Like most rivals, Infosys gets the major chunk of its business from clients in the US.

Infosys has been making a big push towards new-age technology like cloud computing and digitisation. Chief Executive Vishal Sikka, who is based in the US, has said he wants to revive growth through automation and artificial intelligence as clients modernise their technologies.
