This case is set in April 2013, and discusses the key elements that have contributed to the success of Infosys Ltd’s Campus Connect Programme (CC) in developing India’s Information Technology talent over the past eight years. The CC programme is an industry-academia initiative that re-constructs the education experience of engineering students. The programme was launched in May 2004 with 70 colleges. By December 2012, the model had been successfully scaled up to cover 400 colleges, and more than 180,000 readers and 8,300 faculty members across India had benefited from the programme’s technical and soft skills training, and exposure to industry practices.
Since CC’s launch, Infosys has experienced a measurable improvement in the quantity and quality of their new recruits. Infosys understands the value of creating a talent ecosystem, and this case explains just how, and why, Campus Connect has worked as a successful example of industry-academia partnership in the talent management space.
Through this case, participants will have an opportunity to understand the concept of ‘ecosystem advantage’. They would appreciate how companies can leverage ecosystems to deliver complex solutions, while maintaining corporate focus. This case also illustrates some of the significant keys that corporates can use to unlock the above mentioned eco-system advantage.
