Infosys shifting services from Russia to other global delivery centres

IT major Infosys is shifting its services from Russia to its other global delivery centres, according to some sources.

The move comes amid mounting pressure on UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who has been fielding some tough questions lately over the Russian presence of Infosys, a company in which his wife, Akshata Murty, has a share.

Sources said that Infosys is transitioning services from Russia to other global delivery centres but did not elaborate on any details.

Infosys has less than 100 employees in Russia, and the status of the local staff there and whether they will be relocated could not be immediately determined.

Last month, an Infosys statement said the multinational software services major supports and advocates for peace between Russia and Ukraine.

The statement had said: “Infosys has a small team of employees based out of Russia, that services some of our global clients, locally. We do not have any active business relationships with local Russian enterprises.

“A key priority for Infosys in times of adversity, is to continue extending support to the community. The company has committed USD 1 million towards relief efforts for the victims of war from Ukraine.”
