Establishment (1981): Infosys was actually founded in Pune in 1981 by N.R. Narayana Murthy and six other engineers.

Relocation (1983): The company moved its headquarters to Bengaluru in 1983.

The 1994 Context: By 1994, Infosys was firmly established and growing rapidly in Bengaluru, having gone public in India just a year prior (1993). In 1994, it also hit a major milestone by opening its development center at Electronic City in Bengaluru, which became a symbol of the Indian IT revolution.

Key Milestones for Infosys:

1981: Founded in Pune with an initial investment of $250.

1983: Relocated to Bengaluru.

1993: Initial Public Offering (IPO) in India.

1999: Became the first Indian-registered company to be listed on NASDAQ.

Why Bengaluru?

Bengaluru became the hub for Infosys (and the wider IT sector) due to the presence of high-quality educational institutions, a favorable climate for electronics, and proactive state government policies that created the "Silicon Valley of India."
