About Infosys Foundation

Since its inception in 1996, the Infosys Foundation has worked to support the underprivileged in society and enrich their lives.

Promoted by Infosys Technologies Limited, the Foundation began its work in Karnataka, India, gradually extending its activities to the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa and Punjab.

It has successfully implemented projects in four key focus areas:

Healthcare

Social rehabilitation and rural upliftment

Learning and education

Art and culture

 From making high-quality healthcare accessible, to enabling the spread of education where it’s needed the most, the Foundation’s activities touch the lives of a large number of individuals and institutions. Over the years, it’s proved to be a catalyst, improving lives and helping thousands realize their potential.
