Infosys on course correction to spur growth: Kamath

Bangalore, June 9 (IANS) India’s IT bellwether Infosys Ltd. is on a course correction to align with the paradigm shift in technology business to products and platforms from services business, its chairman K.V. Kamath said Saturday.

“We have embarked on a course correction as the technology industry is going through a paradigm shift to products and platforms from traditional services business,” Kamath told reporters.

Noting that course correction would take a longer time to yield results, he said the global software major was bracing up to face the emerging challenges in the technology space, economy and volatile currency markets.

“Course correction cannot be done in eight months. It is a process, which will take time to succeed. Though last fiscal (2011-12) was a volatile year for technology business, we faced the challenges and fared better,” Kamath said on the margins of the company’s 31st Annual General Meeting (AGM) here.

The paradigm shift in technology business had led to the blue chip company’s revenue share from software services such as application development drop to 40 percent from 90 percent earlier.Read more on IANS….
