[edit] Language

"is a billion U.S. dollars (in revenue) Indian software house". Come on now. - Jerryseinfeld 03:56, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

• it sounds like hitting billion $ revenue is a big accomplishment - language should be changed. Wonder if anyones maintaining this page or would like to discuss.

I agree ~Akshay

This and other related articles maintained by this wiki-india thing is nothing but complete and utter PR. Wikipedia should have a banner for such nonsense.- anon

[edit] About Student Program

Infosys currently has a student program in place called Campus Connect, for college students. I don't know much about it. Someone who knows can maybe put it up somewhere in the article?Jam2k 14:58, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Infosys training in college campus or infy campus?

Training is in the Infosys campus. They have three to four months training at the end of which the trainees are posted to various offices.

[edit] toliets/lavatories --> amenities???

... "The campus provides amenities like toilets, lavatories, ATMs and bank extension counters, one of the largest gymnasiums in Asia and a mini golf course among others" ...

Are these the most wonderful amenities? - or the most wonderful basic needs of a well functioning office?

Further, the gymnasium is definitely not the largest by any means.

I agree. Maybe they use weights there to exercise their minds. !! doles 18:55, 2005 May 17 (UTC)

Oye Uncle!!! I would like to comment on infosys' recreational facilities. To summarize, i would say, most companies have none. Consider for example, Infy's very agressive competitor - CTS A person doesnt know what he has in his hands till he's lost it.

[edit] Basic Amenities?

I dont think a very good gym and a swimming pool will be a basic amenity for each and every company. The infosys campus in bangalore is one of its kind in the world. It has all the facilities like a well maintained cricket ground, football ground, basketball, Vollyball, snookers, pool, table tennis etc.., The cricket ground in the Mysore campus of Infosys is maintained by none other than our ace indian medium pacer Javagal Srinath. The bangalore campus have a variety of buildings, which are one of there kind in india. Please see the campus and the facilities offered by Infosys before passing on any comments

You're right, the campus has extremely good facilities, but saying that it has facilities like lavatories/toilets just makes it sound silly. One of it's kind in the world? I'm sure likes of Microsoft and Google have pretty impressive campuses too. Please stick to the facts, this is an encyclopaedia, not a place for Infosys .

I agree. Wikipedia articles are read all over the world and a worldwide perspective will be perhaps more agreeable than an India or Infosys perspective. doles 13:41, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PCS stands for Patni Computer Systems - not Patni Computer Services

Doesn't matter which ever way one might call it. Second grade company!!

[edit] totally overhyped

Seriously, all these "amazing" qualities about Infosys are nothing special by standards of a successful US company. In fact, after reading up on Infosys it seems the entire company is seriously over-hyped. I'm sure Infosys is unique in India, and therefore it makes for a good motivational story, but it appears to be nothing more than a fairly boring computer consulting company. It ain't no Apple, Microsoft, eBay, Google, ... the list goes on. Jawed 08:41, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FULLY FALTOO

I totally agree. and Narayan Murthy thinks that he is the only intelligent homosapiens species in India. I am totally fed up of thus infy thing. someone needs to do a bit of editing and cut the company to size. over-hyped it definitely is!!

[edit] You're correct

That is because it doesn't aim to be one. For your information, Infosys is a Service Provider.. like an Accenture or an EDS.. Take a look at numbers for the big 5/4, and then look at the Infy numbers.. you'll get a feel for what's behind all the hoopla.. Also, for a more 'global' perspective get Tom Friedman's book!

Cheers

[edit] Tax payment

And what about pending taxes to be paid by infosys.

[edit] What Pending Taxes??

Can you please substantiate your statement with some facts?

[edit] Article Cleanup

I realize that I am making quite a few changes to the article. So far they are only corrections, formatting and adding references. But frankly this article needs a make-over. I did not want people getting upset over the edits.

1. We need some more information for the history section
2. Key industries section should come before offices and facilities
3. All awards can be moved to a seperate Awards section
4. instep, foundation, catch them young - can be consolidated into a section called Initiatives
5. I think someone just pasted text from an article for the "Sexual Harassment Controversy". Need to clean this up and trim it down.
6. NRN was the serving Mentor at the time of his retirement.
7. Add references

I will slowly work on this. Do pitch in.

[edit] History info

Need help locating some good history info. Can someone point to a source? Thanks. Rigmahroll 22:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Someone from this IP (203.199.213.131) is repeatedly editing the article with inappropriate information. Apparently, wants to highlight the sexual harassment controversy by taking it to the top of the page. On more than one occasion, changed the word "professionals" to "asses" and then changing it back again. I am reverting the article back to the October 13, 2006 revision, since no new information has been added since then. This is a shared IP is used by IIT Madras (as seen in the user talk page). This IP has been block before. I will be voting for another block if this behavior persists.
