"It is difficult to believe we are in India," was how Finance Minister P Chidambaram described the Infosys Mysore Development Centre when he first saw it. "This could be the Silicon Valley in California, this could be the Rouen region in France, this could be Stuttgart, this could be any town in Australia. . .," he added.
One look at the sprawling, magnificent campus and you could be forgiven for expressing emotions, ranging from stupefaction to pride.
As part of its strategy to move to Tier-2 cities, Infosys started its Mysore Center, which began at a makeshift office in the Sri Jayachamarajendra College of Engineering campus in March 2000.
Currently, the Development Centre at Mysore is the largest campus for Infosys. Spread over 335 acres, the Development Centre is Infosys's 'knowledge hub.' It houses a rapidly growing software development Centre, the Infosys Leadership Institute (ILI) and the Global Education Centre (GEC).
