Infosys, the country's second largest software services provider, is planning to expand its Pocharam campus, situated on the Hyderabad-Warangal road, to 25,000 employees in two phases (14,000 in Phase-I and 11,000 in Phase-II). Already 4,000 employees of Infosys are working at this campus, while 19,000 employees work out of its Gachibowli facility.

The Infosys chief also informed the chief minister that the company had crossed IT exports of $1 billion from its Hyderabad campuses, a government press release said on Tuesday.
