All that might well be history real soon, given the change this year in Infy's strategy to hiring from Indian B-schools. By (a) doubling salary they offered last year, (b) recruiting directly for onsite engagement manager positions, and (c) recruiting selectively (about 15-20 grads across Indian B-schools) they have certainly shaken up things a bit, and it's no longer true that they 'cant find enough intelligent people in India who would care for them'
d) They are building a global brand, and you can't have white faces in your advertisement if you don't employ any
Their foriegn summer intern program is clearly a branding exercise. The way they are going on with building the "Infosys Consulting" brand is even more interesting. -Karra
