India's leading IT company, Infosys, has outperformed major firms like Reliance and TCS when it comes to earning money from foreign markets. Thanks to its strong global presence and digital transformation services, Infosys has shown impressive growth internationally. In the fourth quarter of the financial year 2024-25, Infosys earned a total revenue of Rs. 40,925 crore. Out of this, a massive USD 473 million (over Rs. 37,000 crore) came from international business. That means nearly 90 per cent of the company's total income came in US dollars.
Even in the third quarter of the same financial year, Infosys had done very well globally. The company earned Rs. 41,764 crore in total, and out of that, USD 493.9 million came from foreign clients. This clearly shows that a major part of Infosys' earnings comes from outside India. Infosys earns big from these countries
Infosys is doing extremely well in international markets. The company offers IT services in several countries, especially in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Japan. Over the past few years, Infosys has seen strong growth in financial services in the US and Europe.
Looking at the numbers for the financial year 2023-24, Infosys earned USD 18.6 billion in revenue. Out of that, more than 97 per cent came from foreign markets. Around 61 per cent of this was from North America, 25 per cent from Europe, 11 per cent from regions like the Middle East, Australia, and Japan, and only 3 per cent from India.
These numbers clearly show that most of Infosys' income comes from developed regions like North America and Europe. Even though companies like Reliance and TCS may have higher overall revenue, when it comes to earnings from outside India, Infosys leads the way. Reasons behind Infosys' global success
Infosys has outperformed many Indian companies in terms of foreign revenue by taking several smart steps. Here's how they did it:
Focus on Digital Services: Around 57 per cent of Infosys' total income comes from digital services like cloud computing, data analytics, and artificial intelligence. Its AI platforms like Aster and Topaz are built especially for global clients.
Global Reach: Infosys operates in over 55 countries. Among them, North America and Europe are the strongest markets.
Strategic Acquisitions: In recent years, Infosys has acquired several companies that have helped improve its digital and marketing capabilities.
Skilled Workforce: Infosys focuses heavily on upskilling its employees in digital technologies. About 85 per cent of its global workforce is based in India. The company is well known for its talented and tech-savvy employees.
While Infosys has seen great success in foreign markets, fluctuations in the value of the Indian rupee can impact its foreign earnings.

Transport dept. to give work order to roll out advanced smart cards for driving licenses and vehicle registrations
In a major technological upgrade, the Karnataka Transport Department has finalised a vendor to design and produce next-generation smart cards for driving licences (DLs) and vehicle registration certificates (RCs). These cards will feature embedded chips and QR codes, offering improved durability, enhanced data security, and easier verification processes. Transport officials revealed that the selected firm is expected to receive the official work order within 15 days. The new smart cards will replace the current polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cards that have been in use for years. These advanced cards are seen as a leap forward in modernising transport documentation, combining robust materials and secure data storage methods. 'The smart cards will be manufactured using polycarbonate, a high-grade material renowned for its strength and resilience. In addition to an embedded chip and a QR code, the cards will include laser-engraved text to prevent the wear and fading commonly seen in PVC cards. This approach ensures that the cards remain legible and tamper-resistant over their lifespan,' a senior transport department official told The Hindu. Officials highlighted that Karnataka is aligning itself with several other Indian States, such as Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh, and Himachal Pradesh, which have already introduced similar smart card systems for their transport documents. 'The smart DL will store up to 25 distinct data fields, including the licence holder's name, photograph, date of birth, blood group, mobile number, address, licence validity, and emergency contact. Similarly, the upgraded RC will display essential vehicle-related data such as registration number, registration date, validity, chassis and engine numbers, and owner details on the front. The back will carry a QR code that provides extended information, including the vehicle's make, model, type, seating capacity, and financing details,' official added. The embedded QR code will allow quick digital access to basic user information by police and transport officials during inspections, eliminating the need for manual document checks. For more detailed data, authorised personnel can use a dedicated chip reader, thereby simplifying procedures in cases of traffic violations, accidents, or document theft. To maintain consistency and quality across all cards, printing and production will be centralised at the Transport Commissioner's head office in Bengaluru, according to officials. 'This centralised approach will help ensure all smart cards adhere to uniform security and design standards. It will also streamline logistics, reducing delays and ensuring faster delivery to applicants across the state,' the official explained.

J-K: Lavender gave small town Bhaderwah a national identity: Union minister Jitendra Singh
'Bhaderwah, once a quiet hilly town, is now a beacon of India's rural startup revolution. Lavender has not just added fragrance to these mountains, it has added identity, income, and inspiration,' Singh said. Inaugurating a two-day Lavender festival 2025 organised by CSIR-IIIM Jammu in Doda district's Bhaderwah town, the minister of state in the Prime Minister's office lauded the Agri-Startup model of Lavender farming as a transformative force that has rewritten the narrative of entrepreneurship in remote and hilly terrains. Jammu, Jun 1 (PTI) Lavender has given the small Jammu and Kashmir town of Bhaderwah a national identity and also a national role in India's economic growth, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Sunday. He said this single mission has answered multiple challenges and busted the myth that startups are limited to IT or require foreign degrees. 'Our youth in Jammu and Kashmir, in collaboration with CSIR-IIIM, have shown that passion, perseverance, and learning can build sustainable ventures rooted in agriculture,' he said. The minister proudly shared that young entrepreneurs in Bhaderwah are earning an average of Rs 65 lakhs annually through lavender cultivation and value-added products, motivating many others to leave conventional jobs and pursue farming as a lucrative business opportunity. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for introducing Bhaderwah and the Purple Revolution to the national stage. 'When the Prime Minister dedicated nearly 10 minutes in his 'Mann Ki Baat' to talk about this Lavender mission in detail, it gave the best possible global introduction to Bhaderwah — one that we could not have imagined,' Singh said. The Minister emphasised that it was Modi's vision of StartUp India and StandUp India, announced from the ramparts of the Red Fort, that ignited the entrepreneurial spirit in regions that previously needed long explanations to justify their existence on the developmental map. He revealed that there are currently 50 distillation units operational in Bhaderwah, with lavender-derived products being supplied to markets in Maharashtra and other states. The model has not only attracted attention from neighbouring states like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, but also from the North-Eastern states, whose representatives were present at the festival to gain first-hand insights, he said. 'This is a new paradigm the world is witnessing – a rural, agriculture-based startup revolution that is both scalable and sustainable,' he remarked. Another myth that Singh addressed was the misconception that StartUps are only for the young. He shared that a special exhibition featuring 60 plus age group entrepreneurs will be showcased in the next edition of the festival. Drawing a broader economic context, Singh said, 'India has moved from the fifth largest to the fourth largest economy, and sectors like lavender cultivation will further fuel our rise. These unexplored areas, when empowered, will become pillars of value addition and employment generation.' He also addressed skepticism around India's economic resilience amid aggressive defence postures. 'Despite challenging times and operations like Sindoor, India's economy has not only remained buoyant but also grown. That is a fitting reply to skeptics,' he asserted. Singh praised director CSIR-IIIM Zabeer Ahmad and his team for organizing an unprecedented event in Bhaderwah that drew visitors from all over India. He invited everyone to visit the lavender fields over the next 10–15 days during peak bloom and hear directly from the entrepreneurs themselves.
