Infosys plans to buy back 11.3 crore shares at Rs 1,150 apiece
In a major breakthrough, West Bengal's chief minister Mamata Banerjee, on Tuesday claimed that IT major Infosys will be investing Rs. 100 crore initially in the state and will come up with a 50-acre campus in the Rajarhat area, near the state's capital.Infosys had long been demanding special economic zone (SEZ) status to mark its maiden entry in the state which the state government was not bent on granting due to political compulsions. Banerjee clarified that Infosys will not be getting the SEZ status, as per the state's policy; but will be eligible for other benefits as per the state government's policy.She claimed it will create thousands of jobs in the state.In July this year, Wipro, which too wanted an SEZ status for its second campus in West Bengal, had decided to let go of the demand. Rishad Premji, chief strategy officer at Wipro had then said, on a visit to Kolkata for a Nasscom event, that the company was in talks with the state government to come up with newer opportunities .

As the power shifts back to Bengaluru from Silicon Valley for Infosys, the company could face a setback in its ambitious plan to hire more than 10,000 people in the US, as Vishal Sikka's resignation dents its image as an employer of choice for local American engineers.It is compounded by analysts saying that Infosys may fail to meet its revenue forecast for the year ahead as the management turmoil would reflect on the company getting newer clients in areas such as digital and cloud, where employees need to collaborate with customers locally."Local hiring in the US is inevitable. It is not something Infosys is doing differently and all other IT firms are doing it. Sikka accelerated the process. But, the process may get delayed," Pareekh Jain, IT analyst, HfS Research India.
