The quest to make an impact

“What's next?” 

However trivial they may sound, these two words have pushed humans to achieve incredible feats. From the invention of the wheel to our push to put humans on Mars, they have made possibilities infinite.   

Speaking of incredible human feats, it’s heartening to see how we are coping with the pandemic. I see a similar pattern at play. Day in and day out, inspired minds are working on a plan to emerge from this situation even stronger. I see this spirit of resilience in my partners at Infosys. And the inspiration to build what’s next is irresistible.

Here are some of the things my colleagues are doing that inspire me: 

-        Infosys is partnering with the State of Rhode Island in launching a privacy-first contact tracing solution to help Rhode Islanders and state officials slow the spread of coronavirus throughout the state.

-        Infosys is helping the State of Karnataka with the “Apthamitra” (stands for a close friend) helpline, creating an exclusive toll-free number and a mobile app aimed at providing required medical advice and guidance for those in need.

-        Infosys Foundation, both in India and in the U.S., is extending their resources and technological capabilities to help people who are most impacted by this pandemic. Infosys believes it’s imperative for businesses to join hands with governments, civil society, and healthcare institutions to support the communities we live in and serve. 

-        Recently, we launched the “Summer of Ideas” initiative to redefine the learning experience for university students worldwide who have been disrupted by the pandemic. Along with renowned professors and technology thought-leaders, Infoscions will be mentoring the students in upskilling themselves.  

Technology is the tool that we use to help people – and the biggest businesses and their customers are counting on Infosys to make their future possible. By pushing the limits of Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Data and Analytics and everything else in between, Infoscions are making the world a better place. They are moving forward and taking the world with them. 

Right now my colleagues across the globe are building resiliency for their clients with tailor-made “Return to workplace” solutions. When you have this spirit of entrepreneurship, and also the knowledge and belief of what technology can achieve, you tend to look at the world with greater optimism.      

I’m proud to be powered by Infosys and to join my colleagues in answering What’s next?
