Infosys to hire more locals in US
Indian IT firms have been contemplating tweaking their business models and accommodating more locals.
New Delhi: IT major Infosys plans to focus more on local hiring in the US and is also looking at setting up development and training centres in the country as part of its efforts to tide over visa-related issues.
Infosys has been in favour of a healthy mix of local and global personnel even though hiring locals in overseas markets often pushes up operational costs for IT outsourcing firms.
With the US mulling over various measures to make visa norms stricter under the Donald Trump administration, Indian IT firms have been contemplating tweaking their business models and accommodating more locals.
“We are closely monitoring the overall situation with respect to visa... in the last 24 months, we have focused on increasing our presence in the US with a lot more local hiring,” Infosys COO U.B. Pravin Rao said.
He added that at this stage, Infosys has not seen any “undue things” that will impact the way it does business.
