Infosys is a fake tech company that doesn't actually provide real services. They provide promises of services, then they do not deliver any of the services at all.
This company is a notorious scam. India should not have "national pride" in a scam company. They should get rid of these companies and do honest work instead.
It's a problem in India though.
Scams exist everywhere, but India literally has billions of people running call centers dedicated to shamelessly scamming elderly English speakers out of their money.
I mean, how many times has Kitboga made the call and was greeted by a Swedish, or Spanish, or French accent.
No, it's always an Indian person who wants to get team viewer installed and bank accounts signed into.
Sidenote, I want to know why Target gift cards are the gold standard for money laundering.
Anyway, it sounds racist, but it's still a fact. India's far and away leading export is posing as people who are tech savvy so they can scam the elderly, be it the retired living on social security or Boomer CEOs who would be caught dead before properly paying and investing in their actual employees.
Infosys is just the next step in the path of "this is Microsoft support rebate department and I jUsT rEfUnDeD yOu ThE wRoNg AmOuNt."
Edit: I did something my fellow millennial do that I try not to. I put 'literally' next to a hyperbole statement.
I apologize for the grammar foul, but it doesn't sink my point.

India literally does not have billions of people, so this statement is literally impossible.
Sorry, India population is 1.4 billion. For some reason I was thinking closer to 4 billion. My bad.
So let's adjust it to "hundreds of millions."
Still not quite sure if I'd guess >200 million (minimum for "hundreds of millions") people in India work in scam call centres. That would be 14% of their total population, or 37% of their working population. I'd definitely give you millions, maybe tens of millions if research supports it.
It's a problem on a massive scale, no need to be hyperbolic.
This is kind of racist though. Indian citizens don't choose to be scammers in a way that Europeans don't. Its a natural consequence of the countries establishment of business services combined with widespread systemic poverty. This traces back to international business deals, political and economic circumstances. It's not a cultural thing.
It doesn't mean that scam call centers are good. But Indians have definitely been exploited by international business. Only natural that they end up returning the favor.
I called out how it sounded racist, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problematic scam culture that is centered in India.
Whatever the cause, I would like the problem to be resolved and not just filed away under "that's racist".
Edit: rereading this, I bet most of the same can be said for the US stock market. And the US credit system. Only difference is them asshats are scamming under the guise of business instead of the guise of tech. And I'm pretty sure they aren't hitting up Indian grandma's.
I'd be happy to see US stocks and Credit Ratings disappear tomorrow.
I'd be happy to see Indian tech scams disappear tomorrow.
They're all scams.
There is andiffefence between saying that scam call centers are bad and that Indians have a culture of scamming. Thats all.
I did not say that Indians have a culture of scamming.
I said that there is a problematic culture of scamming centered in India.
THAT is a big difference.
Okay, well as long as that is clear.
I worked for them for a year and it felt like they were wanting me to scam clients with what they wanted me to claim as skills I had and services I could provide
