I am honoured to join the USISPF Board of Directors. At Cognizant, I have the honour of leading an American company which is India's second-largest employer among multinationals. Seventy per cent of our nearly 350,000 employees live in India, and I believe that their work is the critical cog on the tech talent wheel that will help drive economic success for both countries, Ravi said.
This is the mission to which the USISPF has dedicated itself and I am thrilled to help author the story of our nations' mutual success, he said.
