Infosys Taps Staff To Build Ideas Factory

A core objective of the 'Be The Navigator Business Incubator' programme, which is open to all employees across job levels, locations and subsidiaries, is to generate new revenue streams and growth opportunities, the Bengaluru-based company said in a 26 December internal mail seen by Mint.

Apart from trying to boost additional business from clients, the move appears to be a way for the country's second-largest information technology services company to retain talentent by giving employees dissatisfied with monotonous work a chance to explore and work on new technologies.

Infosys added 2,456 employees to reach a headcount of 317,788 at the end of September. Attrition rate rose to 12.9% compared with 12.7% in the preceding June quarter.
