Infosys Technologies

(BSE: INFOSYSTCH)

India

This company has been flying high. With tech outsourcing activity on the rise, Infosys has doubled revenues from $1 billion in 2004, to $2 billion this year, with 30%-plus profits. As the company moves ahead with its ambitious global expansion plans, its biggest challenge is talent: The Indian tech-outsourcing industry will need 1 million more people over the next three years. Infosys gets more than 1 million applications a year, and hires and trains 15,000 new recruits annually. But with a shortage of talent, this year Infosys has made talent a priority, and will spend $100 million alone on training new and existing staffers. The company's also expanding its employee base beyond its 52,000 techies mostly in India. It's hiring permanent staff and even interns from top U.S. and European tech and business schools at its various operations in India and overseas, and doubling employee strength in its China operations to 1,000.
