BANGALORE: Following Wipro's footsteps which had established 100 room hotel type facility in its Sarjapur complex way back in 2001, Infosys plans to set up a similar facility at Electronics City in Banaglore.

Bad roads, room shortages have prompted the IT major to build an in-campus five star hotel-like facility, says media reports. Infosys gets about 50 to 60 visitors a day, apart from high value overseas clients. Shortage of quality rooms, bad roads and the long and traffic filled drives result in loss of more than three hours a day, according to Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai.

Working late hours compounds the problems and hence Infosys has hired a builder to build an in-house five star 500-room hotel type facility for its clients and other visitors coming to Bangalore.

Infosys plans to call it 'Infosys Residence" and the project will be built in its 275,000 square feet area in the Electronics City campus at an estimated cost of Rs.375 million.

On the anvil is a similar facility by Wipro at their Electronic City Complex.
