Infosys has announced the selection of five innovative business ideas from its employees to be incubated and developed into client-ready solutions. The initiative is part of the company’s in-house entrepreneurship program, aimed at encouraging employees to channel their creativity and technical skills into building scalable businesses.

Out of 18 employees who pitched their concepts, five were chosen for their potential to address emerging industry demands. These ideas cover areas such as software-driven mobility, services-as-a-software models, and new-age SaaS offerings. Infosys believes these concepts have strong market relevance and can be transformed into impactful solutions for its global client base.

The employees behind these projects will transition into full-time incubator roles, giving them the opportunity to focus entirely on their innovations. Infosys has committed to providing not only funding and infrastructure but also access to mentorship, client validation channels, and technical expertise. To further motivate participants, the company has announced rewards of up to $2,000 (around ₹1.7 lakh) for selected innovators.

This program underscores Infosys’ broader strategy of fostering an entrepreneurial mindset within the organization while keeping pace with the rapidly evolving digital services landscape. By supporting internal talent, the company aims to build an innovation pipeline that leverages employee insights into real-world business challenges.

Industry experts note that such initiatives strengthen employee engagement while helping companies stay competitive. For Infosys, it provides an avenue to create differentiated offerings in areas that are expected to see strong demand, from enterprise mobility solutions to SaaS-driven business models.

With this incubation effort, Infosys is signaling its intent to not just deliver technology services but also to shape the next generation of business solutions by empowering its own people.
