History
Infosys was started in 1981, in the city of Pune in the state of Maharashtra, India. A team of seven experienced software professionals, led by N. R. Narayana Murthy(NRN) promoted the company. They brought into the company their wide experience, having handled projects in developed countries like United States, Europe and Canada. MICO was their first client.
Their initial foray into the US market was through a company called Data Basics Corp. as a “body-shop” or on-site developer of software for US customers. Later, in 1987, Infosys formed a joint venture with Kurt Salmon, Associates to handle marketing in the US.
