Infosys chiefs Kris Gopalakrishnan and Sarojini Shibulal on the 'C-Life' and why the future lies in cloud computing - Telegraph

Kris Gopalakrishnan and Sarojini Shibulal, the new Infosys co-chairman and chief executive taking over from the legendary Narayana Murthy, talk of the rocky start at India's leading IT company, its stellar growth and why cloud computing is the future.

Walk around the Bangalore and Mysore campuses of Indian IT outsourcing giant Infosys and it’s easy to become despondent about Britain’s competitive future.

It’s not the grand replicas of the White House, the pyramids and Sydney Opera House so much as the numbers that tell the story.

Infosys adds 20,000 Indian IT and engineering graduates to its 150,000-strong workforce each year, paying salaries of just £5,000 and training them, 200 at a time, in huge auditoria.
It’s nearly all aimed at the West with Infosys, India’s fifth largest company, getting 90pc of its $6bn (£3.74bn) turnover from the US and Europe.

Britain accounts for 12pc – about $720m a year. No wonder the Bangalore campus was a key stop on David Cameron’s India tour last year.
