The country’s second largest IT services company, Infosys, is turning the corner through large-scale innovations, introducing practices such as design thinking and zero distance which have resulted in better win rates in large deals, and automation .
“Already efforts such as zero distance (working with clients very closely) have touched large number of our people,” Vishal Sikka, the CEO of Infosys, told BusinessLine in an interview.
He also said software is reshaping the world. “The future looks entirely different — as it is being fundamentally reshaped by digital technologies. While I am happy that our company's achievements have yielded results, I am humbled by the task in front of us.”
Sikka, 48, said there is a definite shift in policy on visas and the company was working towards becoming visa independent. This was possible because of advances in technology such as Virtual Reality and collaborative technologies through which we can do the same thing sitting out of any location.
Sikka, who took over as the CEO of the company 20 months ago, said that Infosys has so far made 20,000 campus offers and for laterals it will be looking at ‘just in time’ hiring.
