Leadership History
5 leaders · Full leadership timeline
Infosys is less a software product company than a technology execution partner for large enterprises. Its value is the ability to deploy skilled teams at global scale while absorbing delivery complexity for clients.
Infosys earns revenue from technology consulting, digital transformation, application services, enterprise modernization, cloud migration, AI services, managed services, and business process management. Most revenue is service-based, with platform and product economics from assets such as Finacle adding switching costs.
