The campus is being designed to accommodate over 7,000 professionals. In recent years, Infosys has experienced significant growth in Vizag, increasing its workforce from 250 employees to 1,900. Additionally, 750 more seats are expected to become operational in the coming months, as mentioned in an official press release on Thursday, April 30.
