Pravin Rao, The Chief Operating Officer, Infosys, told that the ‘Innovation Hubs’ in Australia would act like a platform to bridge up with clients, education sector and the government. He also told that the concept of investing in Australia would consolidate a strong base to meet the demand for skill in the areas like ‘cyber-security’, ‘big data’, ‘machine learning’, ‘artificial intelligence’, ‘cloud technology’ etc.
However, the experts say that to hire 1200 skilled professionals for the company like Infosys will be a long-term goal; because the Australian job market is not ready to provide the level of talent Infosys wants. It will be a challenge for the company if they are planning to hire professionals locally. On the other hand, it will be possible if Infosys plans to send professionals from India; and also easier for the company to send its talent to IT markets where easier visa norms are available.
