Infosys Technologies Ltd., India’s second-largest software services provider, expects to benefit from an increase in outsourcing, Chief Executive Officer Kris Gopalakrishnan said.
The Bangalore-based company may look for acquisitions in Japan and Europe to help fill “gaps,” said Gopalakrishnan, who spoke in a Bloomberg television interview today.
Infosys and larger rival Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. face concerns about whether they can sustain earnings growth as the global economic recession forces customers to cut technology spending. Gopalakrishnan is betting the slowdown will prompt some clients to cut costs by sending more work to India.
A survey of Infosys’s top 100 clients has shown that several customers may outsource more services in 2009, Gopalakrishnan said in an interview yesterday, without specifying a number.
