MYSORE: The US market generates more than 60% of revenues for Infosys Technologies, and now the software giant is out hiring more young graduates from the said country in an effort to make the company a global and multicultural organisation.
These international recruits will spend most part of their training in India at the Infosys’ Mysore centre. The Global Talent Programme (GTP) of Infosys - started in ‘06 - is a university-level recruiting programme outside India.
“We want to leverage talent from all over the world and there is no better place than the US which I believe is the best place for higher education,” Infosys chairman & chief mentor NR Narayana Murthy said here on Monday.
Infosys has already received its first lot of 126 new appointees of the 300 young graduates that it has hired from the US for FY07 and the plans are to extend this to Australia and other countries in Europe, including the UK.
TV Mohandas Pai, director, human resources, Infosys, said it is planning to recruit 1,300 fresh graduates from abroad during this fiscal.
