Cognizant’s future ‘predominantly India-based’: CEO Ravi Kumar S

Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S, who on Friday received the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman 2025 from president Droupadi Murmu here, said India will be “the office of the world” and the company’s future is “predominantly India-based”. Ravi, who was born and raised at Berhampur, in Odisha’s Ganjam district, said, “Cognizant is a pretty large employer. We have 250,000 employees in India. Earlier, we operated from big cities, now we operate from small cities… Our endeavour is to take it to the smaller cities, so we opened in Indore.”
