From the center of India's "Silicon Valley" Bangalore, it took about 1 hour of reporters to the Infosys Park in the suburbs, completed a registration procedure, and laughed and smiled at the digital lens, the security personnel will have this photo. The visitor certificate is printed, all this seems to tell the visitors this is a high-tech company.
After entering the Infosys Park, the reporter has encountered the DAYANIDHI MARAN of the Minister of Indian Communication and Information Industry. This is also the first time after the new minister went to Bangalore, the destination of visiting includes IT companies, including Infosys. "I believe that the new government will not change the policy of the information industry." After the Minister of Garaan, Nandan M Nilekani, the Infosys Standing Director and President, said that "I believe that the new government will strive to develop agriculture and industry, but not equal to Will neglect the service industry. "
According to statistics, India's IT industry is approximately 89.26 billion rupees ($ 19.8 billion) in fiscal year 2003-2004, accounting for 3.82% of GDP.
In fact, after three years of rapid growth, India's IT industry's growth rate has slowed down, and the growth rate in fiscal year is only 16.71%. In the past, people often overestimate the Contribution to India GDP. In fact, the Indian service industry accounted for 51% of GDP, which is a industry that is not high in technical content (such as the street selling).
Five-star park
I have a big man, I have a leisure and enjoy this luxury and elegant and elegant park in a five-star hotel. At this time, it was the afternoon tea time in Indians. It took the light of the employee benefits. The reporter only spent 3 rupees (about RMB 0.6), bought a small cup of Indian milk tea. After drinking, I used 14 rupees. (RMB 2.6) bought a Italian flavor.
In an open tea seat, employees don't have to worry about being lazy and lazy, because chat is part of their work. Sometimes a few colleagues have a refreshment and collision, which is likely to find a problem with a problem, or a person who is thinking about the green grass of green oil, unlocking a problem with a doubt.
There are dozens of tea seats, sitting on all corners, but not at all. India's intellectuals are very popular, even if they argue, they can't see the red ear, and discuss warm and not hot. In addition to cheap and beautiful diet, this beautiful park has a private pool and gym that allows these computer mad people to stretch the bones.
This is one of the secrets of Infosys to retain talents, attract talents with a beautiful environment, and then work in such loose environments. More attractive, here is the battlefield of the master, and the family will wear a crown immediately. In the annual annual annual report, the staff of the employee is listed in detail. Of course, Infosys work is well done, in addition to being famous, it will benefit, Infosys is the first Indian company that introduces employee subscription rights, making employees to co-contraction with the company.
Infosys employees have increased to 27,000, the average age is 27 years old, and it is already old in Bangalore. The average age of employees of other software companies is only about 25 years old. NANDAN MN ILKANI and Chairman and Chief Adviser Narayana NR Murthy have used a 300 US dollars in 1981, which founded Infosys. As of the end of March 2004, the most famous software company, total assets of India have increased. To $ 7.3 billion, pure profit reached 12.4 billion rupees ($ 28 million), an increase of 30% from the previous fiscal year.
Infosys is responsible for China's business, Srinas Bandie, pointed out that Infosys' development, the development of Infosys is in nearly 12 years. He said that the number of employees in 12 years has surged to 27,000, with a total assets of $ 7.3 billion, and two of these success.
"First, the Indian government cancels the license system in 1991. We have deployed for 10 years before, once the level is withdrawn, we can draw a box; the second key is between 1992 and 1995, our greatest achievements It is to persuade the United States company customers. I believe our software is developed. It is worth it. At that time, we went to the United States to see customers. The other side did not let you in the eyes, think that India's software industry does not enter the stream, or It is a piracy. After four years of continuous efforts, we can open the market. "In recent years, US companies do not only believe in India's capabilities, but also enter India to share this inexpensive and excellent talent library, Accenture, IBM and EDS and other multinational big The company has set up a stronghold in Bangalore.
However, Infosys still has the advantage of absorbing talents because it has become the organization that is most wants to join the graduates of the School of Engineering. The company hired 2,600 people last year, and the result received 250,000 job-seeking letters, that is, only 1% of the success rate, they can choose the elite in the elite. The most important condition for Infosys chooses is "learning ability", if the applicant can pass the test, it is necessary to accept 14 weeks of training, focusing on thinking about methods and solving problems.
Of course, Indian IT companies also brought the side effects of young people to ignore other science students. Professor G. Mehta, a director of India's most famous Indian Institute of Technology, was accepted: "The problem is the most headache problem is that there are too many students to learn IT. Take this year as an example, 40 people compete for an IT degree, other disciplines are usually Only 15 people compete for one. "
The name of the Indian Institute of Technology is loud, so other disciplines do not have problems with shortcoming, but other colleges have not such good luck, some non-IT discipline new students are insufficient.
"This trend is unfavorable for the overall development of the country, but we have no choice but to say" Professor G. Mehta said helplessly, "We can't force new students."
Expanding China In January 2004, Infosys cost $ 24.3 million, acquired an Australian Expert Information Services, transformed into Infosys (Australia), and then invested 5 million US dollars, established Infosys (China Shanghai), settled this population than India 2 Hundreds of huge markets.
As a large-scale multinational company, Infosys, in addition to the challenges of Multinational companies in India, the focus of its strategic development this year has returned to the Asia Pacific region.
"In 2009, we will have 10,000 employees in China." Ban Die said, "We will develop regional hubs in China. In addition to the Chinese own market, we also face the market of Northeast Asia, namely Japan and South Korea. In addition to Shanghai, we will soon be in Dalian, the software industry is quite found. More importantly, Chinese characters and culture are close to Japan and South Korea. We hire employees in China, and develop Japanese and Korean markets. The meeting is half-meter. "
This idea is not in Infosys unique, 2001 Complete Business Program Outsourcing (BPO) Company VMOksha founder and Chairman Pawankumumar, announced last year to establish CDC software outsourcing company in China. The joint venture company, transplanted India's BPO successful experience to China.
"This is what I learned from IBM. When the local market has developed to a certain level, we have to find new markets, new hubs. We choose China because this market is large enough, and you can take into account Japanese and South Korea, we In Eastern Europe, there is also a base in the purpose of which is the market nearly developed, "Kumar said. Kumar is the chief representative of IBM Global Services before India before 2001.
However, he said that the progress of the joint venture is not as good as possible: "US customers heard our joint venture with China, and immediately ask us not to move their outsourcing work to China, because they are worried that they will be pirated. This issue is in China urgent needs improvement When I talked about copyright protection with different officials, they always said that they can't manage it, so that China's outsourcing business is growing. "" India has been used for 10 years to make the US and European customers The copyright issue of outsourced software is relieved, I hope that China can do it within 5 years. "Kumar said.
