Corporate Connect – Infosys (Hinjewadi, Pune)


On 28th January 2023, the first-year BCOM FA students visited Infosys Limited Pune campus; their first Industrial Visit. The journey started at 6:40 in the morning. The students reached Infosys Limited’s phase 2 campus located in Hinjewadi, Pune by 8.30 AM. Prior to entrance, students’ COVID 19 Vaccination certificates were verified. Students were given proper instructions regarding the rules and regulations of the organization. After entering the campus, students were given breakfast.

By 9 AM, students were moved to the amphitheater. Mr Nithin, the head of the competency development team, gave an introduction about Infosys. He made the session very interactive by adding several fun games like quiz, crazy selfie etc. The winners were given chocolates as a token of appreciation. Later, Mr. Joseph Monis took a session where he explained about the employee life at Infosys. Thereafter Mr Sandeep Dhar, Head of Foundation Studies, gave insights on the prerequisite and parameters employers seek in freshers. He gave a clear picture about how the corporate world works and how the youth should set their pace according to this fast moving world. The session gave way to an open forum where students were free to ask questions. The session concluded by 11:30 AM.


Post lunch, students were given a campus tour along with 4 volunteers who apprised the students regarding various achievements the institution proudly beholds such as INSTEP, the global internship programme which got recognition as ‘the best internship programme by the “Vault.”’ The next was the much awaited “Leader Connect” session with HR Vice President of Infosys BPM, Mr Clifford Mohan Pai. The session focused on various aspects of the corporate world, focusing on the issue of automation and artificial intelligence. Mr Clifford explained how this contributed to a new era, one where human resources can concentrate solely on their cognitive skills and intellect. Mr Clifford addressed the need to drop the practice of high dependence on traditional studies and start to focus on advanced skills right from the first year in the most simplified yet admirable manner. He wrapped up the session with a highly interactive open discussion. The event came to an end with a group photo with Mr Clifford.

The industry connect was very informative and gave the students a glimpse into the corporate world.

The students were able to interact directly with people from the industry and thus, acquire valuable knowledge as to the inner workings of the industry. They were able to clear their doubts with regard to corporate life and were encouraged to seek opportunities with the campus. The visit also opened up possible future collaborations with Infosys in the form of internships and more connect sessions.
