Infosys Ltd ADR’s plans to hire 10,000 employees will take place over over the next two years. The consulting and technology support company is planning to open four new Technology and Innovation Hubs in the United States and have new employees work at them.

“New advances in technology – artificial intelligence, in particular – are radically transforming our world, and it is within our reach to learn these new technologies and to be the innovators and entrepreneurs who bring solutions based on these technologies to our clients in all industries,” Dr. Vishal Sikka, CEO of Infosys Ltd ADR, said in a statement.
