Sekedar pengantar untuk kawan-kawan yang belum tahu. Infosys adalah perusahaan software berpusat di Bangalore, sudah masuk Nasdaq, omzetnya tahun lalu lebih dari satu milyard dollar. Didirikan oleh Narayana Narayana Murthi dengan modal hanya $ 600 dollar, sepulang dia dari Perancis tahun 1960an.
Sekarang Infosys menjadi perusahaan software 3 besar India yang sudah mendunia bersama Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) dan Wipro. Mengenai Wipro dengan Azim Premji-nya akan saya singgung kalau ada topik yang cocok. Sukses Infosys adalah sukses new economy, yang bersandar pada frontier technologies (sofware, biotechnology, genetic engineering, robotics, nanti bisa ditambah lagi). Narayana Murthi mulanya sama sekali bukan orang kaya, tapi dengan ide dan otak cemerlang dia kini jadi milyarder dalam dollar, jadi orang no.4 terkaya di India. Menyalib orang yang punya pabrik. Salam, RM Infosys cashes in on outsourcing India's Infosys has turned in sharply higher quarterly profits, helped by new contracts to run other companies' technical support services. The company said net profits for the second quarter came in at 4.5 billion rupees ($97.1m;£54m), a 49% increase on the same period last year. Sales also rose, climbing 52% on the year to 17.5 billion rupees. Chief executive Nandan Nilekani said the firm had benefited from a "mega-trend" towards outsourcing. Offshore Outsourcing - where firms contract out functions such as computer support to outside companies - has become an increasingly popular way for major multinationals to keep costs under control. Indian companies - drawing on a highly-educated and comparatively cheap labour force - have become the chief beneficiaries of the trend. Infosys, which exports software as well as offering outsourcing services, said it had signed up 32 new customers during the second quarter. Chief operating officer Kris Gopalakrishnan said public controversy in the US over the jobs impact of outsourcing appeared to have faded. "It seems to be behind us," he told the Reuters news agency. "There seems to be less concerns coming close to the (US Presidential) elections." Infosys said it now expected to make full-year profits of 71.3 - 71.6 billion rupees, up from its previous forecast of 67.3 - 67.7 rupees. It added that it had taken on 5,010 new employees over the second quarter, lifting its total workforce to 32,949. http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/business/3735394.stm Published: 2004/10/12 06:41:17 GMT ------------------------ Yahoo!
