Infosys to Nearly Double Work Force in U.S. Market
Infosys Technologies Ltd. (INFY) plans to nearly double its work force in the U.S. and remains on the lookout for acquisition targets in Germany, France and Japan, its chief executive said.
India’s second-largest software exporter by revenue after Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. is planning to hire 1,000 employees in the U.S., Chief Executive S. Gopalakrishnan said in an interview.
The company, which had 1,200 U.S. employees as of March 31, had said in April it would hire more staff there. As of Sept. 30, it had a total of 105,453 employees.
Infosys gets about 66 percent of its revenue from the U.S. market. The company joins other Indian software exporters in gradually stepping up hiring to prepare for an expected increase in outsourcing deals as technology spending makes a modest comeback in developed nations.
