Overview
Infosys is one of the largest IT services firms globally, reporting approximately US$18.6 billion in revenue for fiscal year 2025 across 317,000 employees serving more than 60 countries. The firm is listed in India (NSE/BSE: INFY) and on the NYSE (INFY). CEO Salil Parekh has led the company since January 2018. ServiceNow has been a strategic platform for Infosys since 2017, with the practice operating as part of Infosys Cobalt cloud services and holding Global Elite Partner status with ServiceNow.
Infosys runs one of the largest ServiceNow practices in India and operates regional delivery centres in Bengaluru, Pune, Hyderabad, and Chennai. The practice covers ITSM, ITOM, HRSD, CSM, IRM, SecOps, and App Engine, with industry templates for banking, insurance, retail, and manufacturing. Infosys has published 9,000+ ServiceNow professionals as of 2024-2025, with a significant share of architects holding the ServiceNow Certified Master Architect (CMA) credential. The firm has acquired complementary capabilities including Simplus (Salesforce) and BASE Life Science (life sciences) that feed into joint ServiceNow propositions.
Infosys is typically a fit for cost-sensitive global enterprises that need a large pyramid for run-state ServiceNow operations or multi-product rollouts where India-delivered work can compress cost. The firm is less differentiated on consulting-led transformation work than Accenture or Deloitte, and senior architects in onshore markets (United States, United Kingdom, Germany) are capacity-constrained. Buyers wanting deep regulatory or industry IP often pair Infosys with a Big Four advisory partner.
