Infosys Annual Report 2016-17 LEVERAGING AUTOMATION to TRANSCEND the MUNDANE AUTOMATE INNOVATE EDUCATE ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 AUTOMATE. INNOVATE. EDUCATE. A timeless beacon towards our future At the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, sit three seemingly unremarkable bronze parts, covered in a greenish patina. Together with missing pieces, they represent one of the most complex and sophisticated examples of ancient engineering known to man. This 2,000-year-old marvel is believed to have had 30 interlocking gearwheels, with epicyclical gearing, a crankshaft, and rotating hands. Named for the Greek island near which it was discovered inside the wreckage of a ship, the Antikythera mechanism is considered the world’s first ‘computer’. Built to calculate and display information about astronomical phenomena, the technologies used in it were unique for its time, the likes of which were not seen again for a millennium. From the invention of the arrowhead, to the bicycle, the printing press, and the digital computer, the primary goal for technology has always been to simplify and automate complicated or onerous tasks for humans, so that the resulting efficiencies could be applied elsewhere — towards innovation, and the achievement of loftier goals. Today, when we develop breakthrough technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate mundane cognitive tasks, we accelerate progress by enabling the application of human effort and ingenuity towards finding innovative solutions to even bigger unsolved problems. Meanwhile, these innovative solutions lead to the next phase of automation. Automation and Innovation are intertwined like the facets of a Mobius strip, locked into a continuous virtuous cycle of progress. If Innovation is the engine that powers the vehicle of progress, and Automation the fuel that feeds it, then Education is the context that surrounds them — the routes, the maps, the vistas, the pitfalls, and the destinations. By sharing our knowledge and experiences with the rest of the world, and with future generations, we help to scale and sustain the virtuous cycle. Taken together, Automation, Innovation and Education form the basis of all hope, all progress, and of ultimate transcendence from human suffering. The amazing Antikythera mechanism is for us more than an interesting historical artifact. It is a timeless beacon from our ancestors, and a testament to the human spirit of invention, ambition, and dedication to relentless progress. Within it, we witness the synergy between Automation, Innovation and Education — the pillars of our strategy, and our guiding themes for this year’s Annual Report. CULTIVATING THE POWER OF AUTOMATION A view of our one-acre model farm at the Hyderabad Pocharam campus, where we have implemented our digital agriculture solution. In addition to using automation to design a unique real-time irrigation capability, the solution also deploys sensors to detect vital parameters, such as soil moisture, ambient temperature and humidity, besides employing drones fitted with cameras for real-time monitoring. The solution leverages Big Data analytics to deliver actionable and timely insights to stakeholders across the agriculture value chain. 2 | Board’s report Infosys Annual Report 2016-17 LEVERAGING AUTOMATION TO TRANSCEND THE MUNDANE Many things that were seen as unique and innovative of if they require physical effort, computational capacity even in the recent past are commonplace today. or cognitive reasoning — will be solved by automation. Technological advancement is one driver of this process At an extreme, one could argue that any problem — common, repetitive, routine and mundane tasks once solved by anyone, anywhere, should never have performed by humans are slowly but surely automated. to be solved again by anyone else. This is captured Over the years, this has held true for agriculture, in the age-old adage of wastefulness in ‘re-inventing manufacturing, financial services, retail, and healthcare, the wheel’. This is especially true in the software and and many other industries and functions.

  • Annual Report 2007 | Reports & Filings | Investors
    Once upon a time, the world was spiky. Opportunities were unequal across countries, information was often walled and new economies were unheard of. But around the mid 990s, things started changing. Wealth began to spread, opening up fresh markets. A baby-boomer generation aged in developed countries while a Gen-Y exploded in emerging ones, rebalancing the workforce and propelling new economies. Technology became ubiquitous, connecting people and information. Together, these disruptive forces rearranged and leveled the global business-scape. Braving the waves of complex regulations and changing customer expectations, a new breed of entrepreneurs arrived to claim the unexplored land. They found a flat world. We live in exciting times.

  • Infosys Prize 2018
    Infosys Science Foundation INFOSYS PRIZE 2018 LEPIDOPTERA – WINGS WITH SCALES Those brilliant pigments that create magical colors on the wings of a butterfly is chemistry in play. That the pattern and tint are governed by its genes is what we learn from the field of genetics. And how can we separate nanoscience from this mystical being? The ‘nano’ chitin or tiny scales on the wings reflect light to create a mosaic of iridescent hues. When you see blue, purple, or white on a butterfly, that’s a structural color, while orange, yellow, and black are pigments. How overwhelming is this complexity! And how mystical the butterfly looks as it soars into the sky, its tiny scales aiding the flow of air – a marvel of aerodynamics! We divide this universe into parts – physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology and so on, but nature does not categorize. And so every small and big discovery by scientists and researchers from diverse fields come together to create a deeper understanding of our vast and interconnected universe. Oh yes, the powder that brushes off on your fingers when you touch a butterfly’s wings are the tiny scales breaking off, and that ‘slipperiness’ helps the butterfly escape the trap. But that touch may perhaps sadly contribute towards its demise. A caution therefore that we must tread carefully lest we hurt our world, for when we disturb one part of the universe, we may unknowingly create a butterfly effect.

  • Awarded to Prof
    Our entangled world All life on earth is so beautifully meshed together that to consider humans apart from the rest would be quite impertinent. In fact, humans as a species can hardly survive without their fellow living beings. There are a zillion reasons to believe this, and science has regularly unearthed more — microorganisms in our gut aid digestion; pollinators help seed the food we eat; green plants and phytoplankton produce oxygen that we breathe. And then there are the forward and backward chains of dependencies that make all this possible. And we have not yet explored even a fraction of the intricate relationships we have with all the inhabitants of earth. Some researchers question the assumption that all life is equally valuable. The idea being that we can do without many life forms that are just taking up space. So the coral ecosystem is of great value to human beings but what does a parrot fish do for us? Oh and those sordid roaches and dispensable rodents! A delightful ditty sums up this reservation, God in his wisdom Made the fly And then forgot To tell us, why? - Ogden Nash Is biodiversity indeed an indulgence? Is bringing visible advantage to us human beings the sole purpose of existence? Or are there finer equations we are missing? Michael Soule, the remarkable biologist held that ‘nature has intrinsic value beyond what it can afford humans.’ Researchers have discovered so many unique and fragile ecosystems of the world that hinge on a cautious chemistry between species. If one goes extinct, ripples will be felt across the environment.
