“Through countless interactions with our leaders and teams in India, I’ve developed appreciation for the jewel that is Cognizant India—the hub of our global delivery, solutioning, and innovation,” wrote Cognizant CEO Brian Humphries.

Excerpts from The Times of India’s article:

“Cognizant has become the second IT company to have more than 2 lakh employees in India. It has a global strength of nearly 2.9 lakh. Cognizant would be the country’s second biggest white-collar employer. And considering it is headquartered in the US, it will also be the biggest MNC employer in India.

In a note to employees, Cognizant CEO Brian Humphries said: ‘We are fortunate to have many talented and engaged colleagues in India, more than 200,000 in all, who excel at serving our clients. The bright future of Cognizant India will see us building the industry’s most admired delivery engine, blending efficiency with innovation.’

Even as IT firms have moved away from headcount-based revenue growth to a model based on business outcomes, the growing headcount in India shows how important the country remains as a robust delivery engine.”
