IT giant Infosys signed a strategic agreement with Rolls-Royce for providing engineering and R&D services for the London-based aerospace and defence technology firm’s civil aerospace business.
As part of the overall partnership, Rolls-Royce will transition a significant part of its engineering centre capabilities for civil aerospace in Bengaluru to Infosys. The IT firm will provide a range of high-end engineering and R&D services integrated with advanced digital service to Rolls-Royce.
Over the past decade, Rolls-Royce established a multidisciplinary engineering centre in Bengaluru, and this has been an integral part of Rolls-Royce Engineering and R&D services. The Centre covers a mix of engineering capabilities spanning the full range of sub-functions and specialisms in R&D. Going forward, Rolls-Royce will continue these complex engineering activities in India in partnership with Infosys.
“The Rolls-Royce engineering team at Bengaluru has been at the forefront of these innovations, and we are delighted to welcome them to Infosys. We have had a long and fruitful association with Rolls-Royce and are looking forward to supporting the company in addressing Civil Aerospace industry challenges,” said Jasmeet Singh, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Manufacturing, Infosys.
Infosys said it has established a position in engineering services through robust investments over the last two decades and is delivering end-to-end solutions to customers in the turbomachinery, propulsion (TMP), aerospace and defence industries. It added that the engineering centre for civil aerospace will strengthen its existing capabilities in Turbomachinery and Propulsion that are currently delivered through a network of engineering centres in Mysore, Baden, and Karlovac.
