Industry Leadership
Our history is marked by a series of firsts. We were the first Indian company to list on a US stock
exchange and the first Indian company to do a POWL in Japan. In December 2006, we became
the first Indian company to be added to the NASDAQ-100 index and became the only Indian
company to be part of any of the major global indices. We were recently listed on The Global
Dow. Infosys was also ranked No. 14 among the most respected companies in the world by
Reputation Institute's Global Pulse 2008. We were also listed on Forbes' Asian Fabulous 50 for
the fourth consecutive year. Infosys is also a five-time Global MAKE Winner and one of only
two Indian companies amongst global leaders to have won the award in 2008.
Our services and business solutions are strengthened by alliances with leading technology
partners.
We recommend technologies to the client based on what is best for the client. We do not solicit
or accept influence or marketing assistance fees from any of our alliance partners.
In a marketing alliance, Infosys and the alliance partner jointly deliver business solutions which
leverage our industry, functional and technical expertise, Global Delivery Model and the alliance
partner's technology and services.
In a technology alliance, Infosys works with an alliance partner to build business and technical
competency in the alliance partner's technology through training, engagement with the alliance
partner's technical support and development teams besides the development of tools and
methodologies at Infosys' Centers of Excellence.

Sustainability
Infosys began its journey in India's business environment in the 1980s, in an era when endless
red tape was imposed on the private sector. In this environment, building a company whose long-
term objectives included operational longevity, high ethical standards and global respect
demanded commitment to a core set of values. For Infosys, these values focus on instilling trust
in our relationships with all stakeholders, including employees, investors, clients, society and the
communities in which Infosys operates.
• At Infosys, we believe that we must develop trust with the communities in which we
operate to achieve longevity as a corporation. Through the Infosys Foundation, which
receives a grant every year from Infosys (the last year's grant was US$ 3 million) we
contribute to betterment of healthcare (hospitals, infrastructure), education (books,
scholarships, refurbishment of infrastructure) and skills
• Infosys emphasizes its commitment to investors through stringent corporate governance.
Infosys was also among the first Indian companies to voluntarily comply with the US
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and now provides financial results in
the GAAP of six countries
• With employees from over 70 nationalities, Infosys has built an enduring value system
based on openness, honesty, fairness and transparency, which has earned us the
confidence and trust of our clients. We enjoy +95% customer retention
• Infosys has built one of the largest corporate education centers in the world. This
'finishing center', with an annual capacity of 15,000, provides engineering graduates who
aspire to be employees with the equivalent of a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer
Science from an American university
