Seven engineers founded Infosys in Pune in 1981 with approximately $250 in capital. N.R. Narayana Murthy led the group, which included Nandan Nilekani, S. Gopalakrishnan, S.D. Shibulal, K. Dinesh, N.S. Raghavan and Ashok Arora. The company spent its first decade building a client base from India, initially importing a computer for a client project in a period when Indian import restrictions made such purchases difficult.

The company went public on the Bombay Stock Exchange in 1993 and moved its headquarters to Bengaluru, where its Electronics City campus became an icon of Indian tech. The 1999 Nasdaq listing made it the first Indian-registered company listed on a US exchange and brought it global institutional visibility.

Through the 2000s Infosys scaled massively, adding consulting, BPO (through its Infosys BPM subsidiary), and product-based services while pioneering the global delivery model across client engagements. The 2010s brought founder-led transitions: Murthy returned as executive chairman from 2013 to 2014 during a difficult period, then Vishal Sikka served as CEO from 2014 to 2017 amid public friction with founders over governance. Salil Parekh took over as CEO in 2018 and stabilized the business, leading it through consistent growth and major acquisitions including the digital agency WongDoody, consulting firm Simplus, and product engineering businesses.

Revenue crossed $20 billion in fiscal 2026, the year ended March 31, 2026, a milestone reflecting two decades of growth since the company's founding. Nandan Nilekani returned as non-executive chairman in 2017 to steady governance after the Sikka-era dispute and continues in that role.

Infosys has faced periodic governance scrutiny. The 2017 confrontation between CEO Vishal Sikka and founder N.R. Narayana Murthy over governance and compensation standards played out publicly and ended with Sikka's resignation, an episode that drew attention to founder influence over listed Indian companies.

The company has faced US regulatory and visa scrutiny, a recurring issue for Indian IT firms. In 2013 it paid a $34 million settlement to US authorities over visa fraud allegations related to B-1 business visas, the largest such settlement at the time. Employee visa compliance and H-1B usage remain politically sensitive in the US market that generates most of its revenue.
