00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.305
>> HELLO AND WELCOME TO INSIDE
INDIANA BUSINESS. I'M GERRY
DICK.
THE INFOSYS US EDUCATION CENTER

2
00:00:05.305 --> 00:00:11.945
IS REVITALIZING MORE THAN
70-ACRES ON THE GROUNDS OF THE
OLD INDIANAPOLIS INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT TERMINAL. THE $245

3
00:00:11.945 --> 00:00:21.321
MILLION CENTER IS ENVISIONED AS
A STATE-OF-THE-ART TRAINING
CAMPUS AND RESIDENTIAL CENTER.
THIS WEEK THE PROJECT REACHED A

4
00:00:21.321 --> 00:00:25.425
MILESTONE WITH A 'BEAM SIGNING'
CEREMONY FOR PHASE ONE OF AN
INVESTMENT EXPECTED TO MEAN
3,000 JOBS.

5
00:00:25.425 --> 00:00:31.064
JOINING ME NOW WITH NEW DETAILS
ON HIRING, UNIVERSITY
PARTNERSHIPS AND A FOCUS ON
SOLVING THE STEM SKILLS GAP, IS

6
00:00:31.064 --> 00:00:38.138
INFOSYS VICE PRESIDENT AND HEAD
OF THE MIDWEST REGION RICK
CARDWELL.
WELCOME!

7
00:00:38.138 --> 00:00:45.779
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING
ME, GERRY.
>> CERTAINLY. A MILESTONE, BEAM
SIGNING, TOPPING OUT FOR WHAT IS

8
00:00:45.779 --> 00:00:51.317
PHASE ONE OF THE PROJECT. TALK
ABOUT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
REACHING THIS POINT, AND
ULTIMATELY WHAT THIS TRAINING,

9
00:00:51.317 --> 00:00:57.090
THIS EDUCATION CENTER IS GOING
TO BE ALL ABOUT.
>> SURE. ABSOLUTELY. AS YOU
KNOW, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, EVEN

10
00:00:57.090 --> 00:01:04.264
DOWN TO TODAY, WE BROKE GROUND
ON THE U.S. EDUCATION CENTER.
AND I'M PROUD TO BASICALLY
REPORT THAT CONSTRUCTION IS

11
00:01:04.264 --> 00:01:14.207
MOVING ALONG FINE. WE PLAN TO
OPEN THE U.S. EDUCATION CENTER
BY OCTOBER 2020. PHASE ONE OF
THAT WILL BE A 250-SEAT TRAINING

12
00:01:14.207 --> 00:01:22.882
FACILITY, WILL ALSO HOUSE ABOUT
650 EMPLOYEES AS WE MARCH
TOWARDS OUR GOAL OF HIRING
LOCALLY. IT WILL BE MORE

13
00:01:22.882 --> 00:01:29.155
COLLEGIAL IN LOOK AND FEEL, AND
PART OF OUR COMMITMENT NOT ONLY
JUST TO INDIANAPOLIS, BUT ALSO
THE WORKFORCE TRANSFORMATION,

14
00:01:29.155 --> 00:01:33.927
AND PIPELINING OF TALENT
ESPECIALLY IN STEM RELATED
SKILLS.
>> I THINK IT'S INTERESTING,

15
00:01:33.927 --> 00:01:41.167
BECAUSE, ESSENTIALLY FOLKS WHO
GO TO WORK FOR INFOSYS IN THE
UNITED STATES ARE GOING TO COME
THROUGH THIS TRAINING CENTER.

16
00:01:41.167 --> 00:01:45.305
>> RIGHT.
>> IT'S POSITIVE FOR INFOSYS,
BUT FOR INDIANAPOLIS TO HAVE
EXPOSURE TO SO MANY PEOPLE

17
00:01:45.305 --> 00:01:50.910
COMING THROUGH THAT IT'S GOING
TO BE SUBSTANTIAL.
>> CORRECT. IT REALLY BECOMES A
GATEWAY I THINK INTO THE CITY.

18
00:01:50.910 --> 00:01:56.916
TODAY AS WE EDUCATE AND TRAIN
OUR EMPLOYEES, WE DO THAT
NATIONALLY AS DECENTRALIZED,
GOING FORWARD AFTER THE

19
00:01:56.916 --> 00:02:03.923
EDUCATION CENTER OPENS UP,
EVERYONE THAT WE TRAIN WILL BE
HOUSED LOCALLY, IN INDIANAPOLIS,
SO GET EXPOSURE TO THE CITY, AND

20
00:02:03.923 --> 00:02:13.066
IT'S NOT JUST AN OVERNIGHT
TRAINING OR A ONE-WEEK TRAINING,
WE TRAIN OUR EMPLOYEES EIGHT TO
12 WEEKS IN A DEEPLY IMMERSIVE

21
00:02:13.066 --> 00:02:19.005
INSTRUCTOR LED CLASS TRAINING.
>> YOU MENTIONED 3,000
EMPLOYEES, YOU ARE WELL ON THE
WAY. SO FAR YOU'VE HIRED OVER

22
00:02:19.005 --> 00:02:23.076
500 EMPLOYEES HERE IN
INDIANAPOLIS.
>> RIGHT.
>> SO, WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT

23
00:02:23.076 --> 00:02:34.187
THIS IS IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
EMPLOYEEING HOOSIERS, 40% COMES
FROM NATIVE HOOSIERS, BORN AND
RAISED HERE. WE'VE RECRUITED THE

24
00:02:34.187 --> 00:02:40.126
BALANCE FROM OVER 35 OVER HOME
STATES, REPRESENT OVER 100
UNIVERSITIES, AND THE WAY THAT
WE RECRUIT AND PIPELINE TALENT

25
00:02:40.126 --> 00:02:45.064
WILL BE ON A NATIONAL BASIS, AND
ACTUALLY TRY TO DEVELOP THAT
HERE LOCALLY, AS WELL.
>> YOU TALK ABOUT UNIVERSITIES,

26
00:02:45.064 --> 00:02:51.304
I KNOW PARTNERSHIPS WITH
UNIVERSITIES, IS PART OF WHAT
YOU HAVE GOING ON, TOO. A BIG
PARTNERSHIP WITH PURDUE

27
00:02:51.304 --> 00:02:57.777
UNIVERSITY, THAT IS WELL UNDER
WAY IN TERMS OF TRAINING
CYBERSECURITY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WHEN YOU THINK

28
00:02:57.777 --> 00:03:02.982
ABOUT THE BUZZ WORDS IN
TECHNOLOGY OF CLOUD, MOBILE,
SOCIAL AND SECURITY, WE'RE
REALLY DOUBLING DOWN OUR EFFORTS

29
00:03:02.982 --> 00:03:11.190
IN TERMS OF EDUCATION FOR CYBER
DEFENSE. THAT BECOMES AN
INCREDIBLY HOT BUTTON TOPIC FOR
A LOT OF CLIENTS, NOT JUST HERE

30
00:03:11.190 --> 00:03:20.767
LOCALLY BUT ALSO GLOBALLY. OUR
PARTNERSHIP WITH PURDUE, WE'VE
TRAINED OVER 100 OF OUR
ASSOCIATES THROUGH THEIR

31
00:03:20.767 --> 00:03:28.241
CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM AND
DEPLOYED THEM NATIONALLY TO WORK
ON OUR CLIENT'S SIERP DEFENSE.
>> THE TIME LINE, YOU MENTIONED

32
00:03:28.241 --> 00:03:35.515
PHASE ONE WILL OPEN UP ABOUT A
YEAR FROM NOW IN OCTOBER 2020.
BUT AS BUILDING OUT THE
ADDITIONAL PHASES, THE 3,000

33
00:03:35.515 --> 00:03:41.087
EMPLOYEES, HOW WILL THAT PLAY
OUT?
>> AS THE BUSINESS GROWS AND
DEVELOP, AND AS WE CONTINUE

34
00:03:41.087 --> 00:03:47.994
REVOLUTIONIZE OUR OWN WORKFORCE,
WE'RE NOT A COMPANY THAT CHURNS
AND BURNS WHERE WE HIRE, USE UP
THE TALENT AND LAY OFF. WE

35
00:03:47.994 --> 00:03:57.303
ACTUALLY RESKILL, NEW SKILL, AND
REDEPLOY OUR OWN EMPLOYEES
THROUGH VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES.
SO, BECAUSE OF THE DYNAMIC

36
00:03:57.303 --> 00:04:03.910
NATURE OF TECHNOLOGY, IT'S
ALWAYS CHANGING, THE SKILLS
NEEDED ARE ALWAYS CHANGING. THIS
REALLY BECOMES THE BACKBONE OF

37
00:04:03.910 --> 00:04:13.052
OUR ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO
RESKILL AND RETOOL. AND SO AS WE
MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PLANS, WE
EXPECT OUR CLIENTS TO REALLY

38
00:04:13.052 --> 00:04:20.526
WANT TO PARTNER IN SUCH A WAY TO
USE THE CAMPUS NOT JUST FOR OUR
OWN TRAINING BUT THEIR
EMPLOYEES' TRAINING AS WELL.

39
00:04:20.526 --> 00:04:26.633
THAT SAID, AS THE BUSINESS
GROWS, WE'LL CONTINUE HELP THE
CAMPUS.
>> ONE OF THE REASONS YOU'RE

40
00:04:26.633 --> 00:04:32.538
LOCATED HERE IS THAT TALENT
PIPELINE EXISTS IN INDIANA WITH
THE STATE UNIVERSITIES, PRIVATE
SCHOOLS HERE, YOU FEEL THAT'S

41
00:04:32.538 --> 00:04:45.318
REALLY A UNIQUE PIPELINE.
>> RIGHT. IT IS. SO IF YOU LOOK
AT OUR SCHOOLS AROUND US, IUPUI,
PERSUADE, THE LIST GOES ON, IT

42
00:04:45.318 --> 00:04:52.291
WAS DELIBERATE AND INTENTIONAL
NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE BUSINESS
CLIMATE, BUT THE WAY WE CAN
PIPELINE OUR OWN TALENT HERE AND

43
00:04:52.291 --> 00:04:58.731
DEPLOY THEM.
>> ALL RIGHT. INFOSYS WELL UNDER
WAY ESTABLISHING ITS U.S.
EDUCATION CENTER IN

44
00:04:58.731 --> 00:04:59.732
