Infy plans to set up new campus in Shanghai

“This large investment is a testimony to Infosys’ commitment to China. As a global company with a presence in over 75 countries, we will use our enhanced capacity here to deliver high quality consulting and software services to the global markets as well as to our clients in China,” said Infosys chief mentor and chairman of the board, N R Narayana Murthy.

The new Shanghai campus will be spread over 15 acres and will be developed over a period of three years. It will be the largest overseas software development centre of Infosys adhering to the highest environmental standards, the company claimed.

With an overall seating capacity for 8,000 employees, the campus will have facilities for software development, labs, data centres, training facilities, food courts, a 1,500-seater auditorium, gym and other recreational facilities.

According to Infosys Technologies (China) chief executive officer Rangarajan Vellamore, with this large investment and enhanced capability, the company aims to lead service capability out of China to the global and local markets for business transformation and operations.
The company expects to have over 10,000 employees in Shanghai alone, once the campus is completed.
