Infosys eyes robotics, AI and driverless cars for next round of growth – Economic Times

NEW DELHI: Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka may have given a glimpse of his firm's future plans as it looks to score big on newer technologies to ramp up revenue.

Sikka arrived for the earnings briefing in a driverless car, completey developed by the firm's engineering services in Mysuru. "Who says we can't build transformative technologies," Sikka tweeted.

"The driverless car is kind of the technology we are strongly focussed on. If you go by our numbers, about 10% of our revenue has come from new technoogies, services that did not exist 2 years ago. These are high growth services and that's where our focus will be," Sikka said.

Sikka said the firm's attempt is to create a pool of thousands of engineers with capability to work on projects in artificial intelligence and tap business opportunities.

Autonomous driving is something every automobile company will get into, and we are trying to build talent around this, Sikka said.
