India's second largest software services firm Infosys today inaugurated its Technology and Innovation Hub in Indianapolis, US.
Besides, the Bengaluru-based company has hired more than 2,500 American workers over the past year.
The Indianapolis Hub will train, upskill and reskill employees in the technologies required to help businesses accelerate their digital transformations, while also allowing Infosys to work closely with clients to develop cross-functional solutions, Infosys said in a statement.
We are excited to continue our collaboration with the state of Indiana by opening our first Technology and Innovation Hub here in Indianapolis, said Ravi Kumar, President, Infosys.
This will expand Infosys' ability to serve clients needs in cutting-edge technologies and evolve local workforce to help clients in their efforts to digitise and renew their core businesses as well as innovate into new breakthrough areas, he added.
The Hub which currently houses more than 150 employees also serves as an innovation lab, showcasing new prototypes in virtual, augmented and robotic technologies.
Last year, Infosys had announcer setting up of four such hubs and hiring about 10,000 locals in the US over the next two years.
The move was also seen as a bid to woo the Trump administration that has been critical of outsourcing firms for "unfairly" taking jobs away from the US workers.
