Infosys Opens Second Tech Hub In US, Announces Creation Of 1000 Jobs

Indian IT services major Infosys is mulling over to open its second US innovation hub in Hartford, Connecticut and hire 1000 American workers in the state by 2022.

Last week, the company has officially launched its first innovation hub in Indianapolis.

Infosys last year proposed four such technology and innovation hubs in the US to boost activities on emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, user experience, emerging digital technologies, cloud, and big data.

The company also promised to hire 10000 Americans in couple of years to step up operations in the US.

In May last year, Infosys had announced its plans to hire 10000 Americans in couple of years.

In a statement the company said, the hub at Connecticut will have a special focus on insurance, healthcare and manufacturing.”

This is also expected to bring Infosys closer to its Connecticut clients and serve as the global hub for Infosys’ InsurTech and HealthTech efforts.

Ravi Kumar, President, Infosys said, “This investment will further strengthen our ability to serve clients’ needs throughout the New England region and expand the local workforce to help our clients compete in the rapidly digitizing insurance, healthcare and manufacturing sectors. Hartford’s position as the Insurance Capital of the World, paired with Connecticut’s world-renowned academic institutions, will place Infosys in close proximity to valued clients and accelerate the recruitment of highly-skilled local talent.”
