Indian software company Infosys has pledged to hire thousands of US staff for its four emerging technology laboratories based in the country, including a recently opened hub in Indianapolis. Traditionally, IT service companies reduce costs by employing Indian staff, but President Donald Trump recently called for a clampdown on foreign outsourcing and urged firms to hire more US workers. The new centre will be run from an office building that Infosys, which is headquartered in Bangalore, plans to build at the corner of North Meridian Street and East Washington Street.
