Infosys Limited, a global leader in consulting, technology and next-generation services, announced the expansion of its presence in Noida, Uttar Pradesh with the commencement of work on its new software development center. The honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, felicitated Infosys’ upcoming facility, as part of the ‘Rising UP, Powering New India’ event in Lucknow, aimed at boosting infrastructural capabilities in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
