Digital inclusion requires more than connectivity.
Equitable access depends on digital skills, relevant education pathways, and locally meaningful content that enables communities to participate fully in the digital economy.
Infosys’ purpose is to amplify human potential and create the next opportunities for people, businesses, and communities. For us, community impact is not a peripheral responsibility, but a direct expression of what we stand for.

We live in an era defined by rapid technological advancement. AI, blockchain, genomics, and other emerging technologies are reshaping industries, redefining livelihoods, and creating new possibilities for problems that were once considered intractable. As an IT company at the forefront of this transformation, we are dedicated to turning that progress into real impact and promoting technology for good in our communities.
Our vision is to transform and create sustainable communities through Tech for Good initiatives, job creation, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts, including employee volunteering, healthcare interventions, and women’s empowerment.
Our CSR work has translated into long-term impact for many communities.
Our CSR work is executed through Infosys Foundation, Infosys Foundation USA, and CSR wings in the EMEA and APAC regions in collaboration with employee volunteering groups. It is also implemented through several community initiatives run by employee volunteering groups across global locations.
Infosys Foundation, which completed three decades in corporate social responsibility in fiscal 2026, works to create opportunities and build a more equitable society. It supports programs in the areas of skilling and livelihood, healthcare, women empowerment, and environmental sustainability, among others. Some of the key initiatives this year were:
Launched on October 1, 2024, the Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program aims to enable half a million job seekers in India to gain meaningful employment by 2030.
Infosys has tied up with 20 partners to enable job creation in both STEM and non-STEM industries.
The program has multiple implementation partners working across rural areas, tribal regions, aspirational districts, urban slums, technical and skilling institutes, and colleges.
The Infosys Foundation Springboard Livelihood Program focuses on job creation for both graduate and undergraduate youth across STEM and non-STEM industries. The program will also provide, through Infosys Springboard, additional industry-relevant curricula in cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as in functions such as digital marketing and finance.
Employment opportunities are provided in technology, manufacturing, retail, sales, customer support, operations, BFSI, renewable energy, and service sectors. Many roles are within home districts, reducing migration. While entry-level wages average ₹2,00,000 per year, they provide stability, dignity, and independence.
Inclusion is also a focus area, with the program supporting women from economically weaker households, youth from aspirational districts, persons with disabilities, transgender persons, and first-generation earners.
Every program, whether UNXT, GEET, Project Sampann, Skill Up, Yuva Junction, Finishing School for Employability, AI and Life Skills, or ITI-focused skilling, emphasizes employability and employment.
Since inception, the program has enabled job offers to

Avoidable corneal blindness remains a significant yet preventable cause of vision loss in India, disproportionately affecting people in rural, remote, and underserved regions. Through a combination of system-level strengthening, early detection, and targeted surgical care, Infosys Foundation supports partners in building a more accessible, integrated, and equitable cornea care ecosystem.
The Foundation has partnered with the LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI) for the Universal Cornea Care Mission. It is designed to strengthen cornea care delivery from early detection and treatment / surgery to eye banking and long-term follow-up. The project commenced on January 1, 2025, as a pilot initiative to build durable clinical, technological, and institutional capacity to ensure affordable and accessible cornea care at scale. It is being implemented across Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Telangana.

As of November 2025:
In Noida, Infosys Foundation partnered with Sakha Ek Pahal, which empowers women in traditional crafts such as knitting and crochet. The project offers vocational training, and through it, the women find economic independence and self-respect, transforming them into skilled artisans and micro-entrepreneurs. Currently, 85 women are onboarded to this program.
Meanwhile, in Dharmavaram in Andhra Pradesh, Infosys Foundation and Vedanshi Foundation are working together to train tribal women in stitching and tailoring. For these women, who had never left their villages before, this project has led to their financial upliftment and the realization of their talents. The program currently supports 87 women.
Skilling programs help women find economic independence and self-respect.
People often do not realize that providing daycare facilities for children of women from underprivileged societies could go a long way toward encouraging them to work. Bharatiya Samaj Seva Kendra (BSSK), based in Pune, recognized this, and Infosys Foundation joined their efforts to set up daycare facilities for children at four locations in Maharashtra. The daycare facility also goes a step further by conducting health screening camps and cultural activities for the children. Presently, 63 children aged 2 to 6 receive care at these facilities.
In FY26, a quiet yet powerful transformation has unfolded across Infosys' 20 development centers in India - thousands of volunteers have moved with the shared spirit of Gracious Giving.
Our employees continue to empower communities through collective action and purpose.
During this period:
Gracious Giving, Infosys Foundation's structured volunteering initiative, enabling employees to dedicate time and skills toward clearly defined social priorities.
