HISTORY
Established in 1981, Infosys is a NASDAQ listed global consulting and IT services company with more than 105,000 employees. From a capital of US$ 250, we have grown to become a US$ 4 billion company with a market capitalization of approximately US$ 27 billion. In our journey of over 28 years, we have catalyzed some of the major changes that have led to India's emergence as the global destination for software services talent. We pioneered the Global Delivery Model and became the first IT Company from India to be listed on NASDAQ. Our employee stock options program created some of India's first salaried millionaires. Infosys Technologies Limited is a leader in software development and was co founded by N.R. Narayana Murthy and a group of seven IT professionals in the year 1981 with an investment of $1000. He emerged as the company's chairman and CEO and is regarded as

a great manager because of his numerical abilities and Western style of management. It has created several firsts in Indian industry like being the first Indian company to be listed on NASDAQ in 1999 and the first to provide employee stock options plan (ESOP). The company opened its first international office in USA in 1987. It became a public limited company in 1992 and offered its IPO in three of the nine Indian exchanges in 1993. It received its ISO 2001 certification in 1993 and opened other development centers in India in 1995. By 1995 the firm was worth $200 million, had 900 employees and annual revenue of $20 million. It opened its first European office in United Kingdom in 1996. Infosys established its headquarters in Bangalore as there the workforces were not required to be unionized, benefits to the workforce were relatively a minor cost, and there was a huge potential for profit. The late 1990s was a time for exponential growth and the main reason for this was its offshore software development model. By 2000 its market capitalization was more than $20 billion. In 2003 it established subsidiaries in China and Australia. In 2004 it crossed $1 billion in revenue. In 2006 its revenue crossed $2 billion and it completed 25 years.
