Bangalore, India-based information technology company Infosys announced that it will establish a central Indiana tech center, the first of four facilities it plans to launch as part of a broader expansion in the United States that is projected to create 10,000 jobs over the next two to four years.
Vishal Sikka, CEO of Infosys joined Republican Governor Eric J. Holcomb to announce an $8.7 million investment to lease and equip office space in the Indianapolis area that will accommodate 2,000 new workers by the end of 2021, reports abc News.
Speaking on the occasion, Governor Holcomb said, “Indiana continues to put the tools in place, such as the Next Level Trust Fund and incentivizing direct flights, that allows us to attract and retain great companies like Infosys. In addition, our higher education institutions are producing a world class workforce, establishing Indiana as the innovation hub of the Midwest.
