Infosys chairman Nandan Nilekani has said that India stands to benefit from the current global situation as more countries look for alternatives to China. He said, the covid-19 crisis will create new opportunities for the Indian IT services industry as clients look at consolidation and reduce the number of suppliers.

Mr Nilekani was speaking at the company’s internal platform, InfyTV. He said companies will see a balance between working from office and working from home as around the world billions of people have tested the work from home model two to three months at a stretch. Mr Nilekani said, there will be a new equilibrium, which has an impact on mobility, traffic, the way cities are designed.
