Asia’s first NASDAQ company: Infosys

Infosys is one of a growing number of multinational conglomerates to build a strong base in the UAE, with four offices across Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah.

Incredibly, the company was established in India in 1981 with capital of just USD 250. Over the next 40-plus years, Infosys has been the catalyst behind the technological advancement of the country, helping it become the global destination for software services talent – and eventually the first IT company from India to be listed on the NASDAQ.

The company’s employee stock options program also created some of India’s first salaried millionaires.

Today, Infosys has grown to generate revenues in excess of USD 17bn with a market capitalisation of approximately USD 75bn. During this time, the company has built a global reputation as a leader in next-generation services and consulting, supporting clients across 50 countries in navigating their digital transformation.

It achieves this through its AI-powered core model, which can help deliver agile digital at scale, drive continuous improvement and power the transfer of digital skills, expertise, and ideas from its ecosystem to that of its 1,850 clients.

Alongside digital transformation support, the company offers a wide range of additional services to its clients, including cloud, blockchain, DevOps, cybersecurity and digital marketing solutions.

And its success story shows no signs of slowing. In 2022, the company was recognised as the Fastest-Growing IT Services Brand by Brand Finance and one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere.

In the UAE, Infosys has collaborated with several government and private organisations to develop innovative solutions that help drive the country’s digital innovation. This strong partnership has helped the country establish itself as a digital-first hub, attracting entrepreneurs and business owners from every corner of the globe.
