Angelina ClarkeMIT SloanCorporate Planning
Topic Infosys is exploring the use of
outcome-based pricing in order to become a
strategic partners to clients Project I
benchmarked the use of outcome-based pricing in
various industries, with a focus on the
technology sector. In combination with internal
interviews with Infosys stakeholders such as
the Co-Chairman of the Board some of whom had
employed outcome-based pricing on a trial
basis. Outcome I created a series of
recommendations for the use of outcome-based
pricing in particular situations, beginning with
a trial series in certain business units. I
presented my findings to the Head of Corporate
Planning.
I had a great time and learned a lot.

Georgios DrossinosInternational Relations,
University of PennsylvaniaRetail Unit
"I highly recommend the InStep program to
everyone, regardless of what you are studying and
at what stage of your studies you are in. The
combination of working for such an innovative and
growing company in a country as diverse and
interesting as India was a transformational
experience."
Topic Infosys Retail, CPG and Logistics unit
created a solution that provides visibility into
shopping behavior and shelf activity through an
in-store network of wireless sensor-based
applications. It enables real-time collaboration
between people (shoppers), places (retailers) and
products (CPG companies) at the point of
purchase. Project My first project I conducted
competitive analysis on Shopping Trip 360 (a
suite of pervasive technology solutions for
retailers) in preparation for its launch, which
occurred at the beginning of August. The analysis
was approved and used by the senior leadership of
my business unit. Outcome The competitive
analysis was used in positioning the Shopping
Trip 360 solution in the marketplace, and the
solution débuted during my internship.

Christine ZhangStudent of Smith College
Interned with Knowledge Management
Working with the KM team gave me the opportunity
to unite my quantitative analysis skills with my
written communication skills in analyzing and
researching data from Infosys Chinese and
Australian subsidiaries. The internship was
amazing, both professionally and personally.
Topic Knowledge Management (KM) is a way of
leveraging the collective intellectual power of a
company. It is especially important in large
corporations such as Infosys, because it creates
official channels that help employees share and
transfer knowledge. For example, the KShop
database is a Google-like search engine that
contains a repository of documents written by
Infoscions on various subjects.
Project Christine worked with the KM team to
develop strategic business initiatives for
launching and promoting Knowledge Management in
Infosys Australia and Infosys China. Outcome
Her research enabled a better understanding of
the cultural aspects of Australia and China.

Benny Leong Student of CIT, Purdue
University Interned with SETLabs
Topic Survey of test data generation techniques
and the automation of requirement-based
regression test suite generation. No existing
effective method for the generation of regression
test suite.
Project Created a novel approach to regression
test suite generation that focuses on one of the
common system requirement models the activity
diagram. Outcome Conferred the Outstanding
Intern Award by Infosys Chairman NR Narayana
Murthy, for his contributions to his project.
Undoubtedly, my experience working on the
project was nothing but extremely exciting,
absolutely thought-provoking and completely
fulfilling. With the guidance of my project
mentors, the resulting Proof of Concept from my
project will not only able to generate hundreds
of test suite in a matter of seconds but also
change the work culture of software testers.
