Infosys Technologies’ China subsidiary which was set up in 2004, now drives one-third of its revenue from the local Chinese market. Infosys China plans to
triple its current staff to 10,000 over the next 3 years. In its largest-ever investment outside India, Infosys Technologies has stated that it would invest $125-150 million in setting up its own campus in Shanghai, China. This is for the first time that Infosys has bought land
to build its own campus outside India. Most other global centers of the company operate out of rented or leased properties. The Shanghai campus will be spread over 15 acres and developed over a period of three years. Located at Zizhu Science and Technology Park in Shanghai, the campus will have a sitting capacity of 8,000 employees with facilities for software development, labs, data centers, training facilities and food courts. Besides, the campus will have a 1,500-seater auditorium, a gym and recreational centers. Infosys currently employs over 3,300 people in China. It has already invested US$ 23 million in capital. The current infrastructure can accommodate 4,200 people in China. Infosys China had revenues of over US$ 78 million in fiscal year 2011.
TCS on the other hand set up their China operations in 2002 thereby becoming the first Indian IT company
to set up operations in China. TCS currently employs 1,200 employees (January 2011) in 5 delivery centers and plans to ramp up these numbers to 5,000 in the next three years. TCS offers core banking system to four major Chinese banks including Bank of China and Hua Xia Bank.
