Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. has raised its 2021 revenue growth forecast to 5.6-7.6% in constant currency from the 4-7% it had estimated earlier, amid a strong business environment and deal momentum.

US-based Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp on Thursday reported a 37.60 per cent year-on-year rise in consolidated net income at $505 million for the March quarter compared with $367 million reported for the same quarter last year.

When the global pandemic took hold a year-plus ago, fast-casual restaurants found themselves at a distinct disadvantage to quick-service chains that already had significant infrastructure in place for both pickup and delivery.

As a company whose success depends on change management, Cognizant puts a premium on its internal culture. From the vantage point of a lifelong career in human resources, Becky Schmitt talked with The HR Digest about the various programs which have put Cognizant on the global map as one of the top companies for star performers.

Cognizant, which has about two lakh employees in India, is also providing an additional $2 million (about ₹15 crore) in emergency funding to UNICEF in India to help address acute shortages in oxygen and deploying medical and testing supplies.
