Here’s a popular trivia question: Which was the first Indian company listed in the United States? No points for guessing, it’s Infosys Back in March 1999, at the turn of the century, it was a moment of pride for those at Infosys and everyone associated with it. Over the past twenty-five years, Infosys has consistently been a source of excellence. Whether it’s our clients, shareholders, industry observers, or even people who know someone working at Infosys, they all celebrate our successes. Not just because it’s a success for the company, but because it embodies the human spirit’s relentless pursuit of excellence. Wherever Infosys has taken me during these two decades, I’ve encountered that same warmth. Whether it’s a fellow passenger on a transatlantic flight or a cab driver in Bangalore, when they learn I work at Infosys, they nod and say, ‘Ah, Infosys!’. This deep-rooted admiration is a testament to the values upheld by Infosys’s founders. They consistently emphasized creating value for stakeholders—customers, employees, and shareholders. Our purpose, encapsulated in #TheInfyWay, is to create opportunities for people, businesses, and communities worldwide. Infosys was founded in 1981 and was the first Indian company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange in 1999. In 2006, Infosys became the first India-headquartered company to remotely ring the NASDAQ opening bell. I vividly recall my pride as a Senior Client Partner, witnessing our founders remotely open the markets from our Mysore campus. In 2012, Infosys transferred its listing from Nasdaq to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). During this period, Infosys has grown from $120 million in annual revenues to approximately 19 billion, becoming one of the top-tier company in terms of market capitalization within the sector. Now, two decades into my journey with Infosys, I found myself at the iconic NYSE building in Manhattan. Standing there to ring the opening bell as our co-founders did, it all came rushing back— the memories, pride, and a sense of purpose. Above all, Infosys remains an intangible force that connects people across the globe. I think of all those encounters yet to come where someone will smile and say, ‘Ah, Infosys!’ We are grateful to all our clients, shareholders, wonderful colleagues, and leadership from around the world who have made this day possible!

I recall watching the listing in 1999 from Infosys office in Bangalore. It was a proud moment then as it is today after 25 yrs! #Infosys #TheInfyWay
Great milestone. Infy created quite a sensation when it got listed in US in late 90s. Congrats to entire Infy team. Proud moment..
What a proud moment for Infosys and the fellow Infoscions! It's a 43 years of incredible journey from strength to strength, being resilient and delivering results year after year with C-LIFE being the core value system.

It was a proud moment when at the time of listing and now celebrating it 25 years later on is indeed special #Infosys

Great work, Dennis Gada. Saw you on the pages of Times of India. You have always been supremely optimistic about Infosys and I fondly remember the days nearly 18 years ago when we worked together. Your good work has always left a strong imprint. My very best to you, and hoping to see some big moves from you in the coming year :-)

2moEcho your sentiments, Dennis. I was in our Bangalore office when we listed on Nasdaq back in 1999. From there to being here and sharing the podium with you and other leaders was an incredible feeling. Grateful to everyone connected with this incredible company for getting us here.
