Sources reported that global software major Infosys said it will soon open a technology and innovation hub in the US state of Connecticut and hire about 1,000 American workers by 2022. As report "We will open our next technology and innovation hub at Harford in Connecticut and hire 1,000 American workers in the state by 2022".
Meanwhile the announcement of the company's fourth hub in North America comes 10 days after its first hub was inaugurated on March 6 at Indianapolis in Indiana State where it hired 2,500 American workers over the past year and focus on new technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, user experience, emerging digital technologies, cloud and big data.
Moreover the company earlier announced opening its
second such hub at Raleigh in North Carolina in July 2017 and the third at
Providence in Rhode Island in August 2017, where it plans to hire about 2,000
techies each by 2021-22. Furthermore the hiring of Americans is seen as fallout
of US President Donald Trump's executive order on H1-B visas in April 2017, as
clients in North America contribute about 60% of the $10.3-billion company's
software export revenue annually.
