INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Leaders from global tech firm Infosys joined Mayor Joe Hogsett and Governor Eric Holcomb on Tuesday to announce that they selected Indianapolis as the home of the company’s first technology and innovation hub in the United States.
The company will set up their operations at the OneAmerica Tower located at 200 North Illinois Street.
Infosys plans to create up to 2,000 new, high-skilled jobs by the end of 2021.
“The 2,000 Hoosiers we will hire and train will help drive U.S. economic growth and innovation in cloud, big data, artificial intelligence and machine learning throughout various industries,” said Infosys President and Deputy COO Ravi Kumar.
The company will begin operations in approximately 35,000 square feet of space within the OneAmerica Tower. Infosys, which already employs more than 140 associates across Indiana, will hire developers, analysts, architects, domain consultants and other technology professionals following the opening of its Indianapolis office.
The company says they will add 100 new jobs by the end of 2017 and 400 new jobs by the end of 2018. Infosys plans to invest more than $8.7 million to establish operations in Indianapolis.

Yeah they’ll hire Hoosiers like Srinivasa Jones and the like
You know that how?
Indianapolis is getting jobs. Any for southern part of state ?
I had no idea that many Asian H-1Bs were hiding out in India-napolis.
He knows because InfoSys is an Indian company. The vast majority of the hires will be 'employees' transferred from India.
Regardless, they will have to eat, sleep, shop locally so that will give the local economy a bit of a boost.
Since President Trump is throttling the H1-B visa program, how will they pull that off?
Gee foreign nationals get the best jobs and we get to feed them hamburgers. Seems fair.
H-1B was not throttled back. The annual quota was 85,000 and it still is 85,000. Nothing to see here, move along.
The Indians don’t seem to think so:

L1 Visa - intra-company transfers. Gives wives and children L2 status to accompany.
Sorry, but if you have the skills you can get a job in IT. The problem is that the education system has been so dumbed down that we aren't graduating enough tech savvy people.
BS. If H-1B visas were eliminated there would be a labor shortage and wages would go up enticing more people to go into that field. It is called supply and demand.
You're missing my point. You cannot 'entice' people into a trade they are not trained for. The education system has to PROMOTE and provide this field as an option instead of snow flake social studies degrees as their first priority.
The problem is the brain washing in the education system steering kids into BS degrees where they end up as baristas at Starbucks vs. technical degrees.
30+ years of Industry experience as a competitor of Infosys - can you say H1B
Every major university has STEM programs.
