Infosys to start hotel type facility
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.

Manindra Mohan joins CoinDCX as SVP & head – data & analytics
Former Amazon and Unacademy analytics leader to scale crypto insights
MUMBAI: India’s crypto exchange CoinDCX has appointed Manindra Mohan as SVP and head of data and analytics, bringing on board a seasoned data strategist at a time when the country’s digital asset market is entering a decisive phase.
In his new role, he will steer enterprise-wide data science, analytics and business intelligence initiatives. His mandate spans product, growth, risk and customer experience, with a clear brief to embed data-led decision-making into the company’s core as it scales across India and beyond.
Announcing the move, Mohan said he was “thrilled” to join CoinDCX, calling the Indian crypto market pivotal and ripe with opportunity. He thanked co-founders Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal, along with Mridul Gupta, for the opportunity to help shape what he described as the future of finance.
He noted that architecting data solutions for a 24 hour global asset class presents a formidable challenge. Yet, he added, the chance to redefine financial access and drive crypto adoption “across every pin code in India” makes the task compelling.
Mohan arrives with nearly two decades of experience across technology, media and digital platforms. Before CoinDCX, he served as head of data science, analytics and BI at Carousell Group. Prior to that, he was SVP and head of analytics at Unacademy, where he built and scaled the analytics and insights function supporting product, sales, marketing and finance teams.
His earlier stints include heading analytics for Amazon prime video in India, where he oversaw data across product, acquisition, engagement and content, as well as serving as senior manager data sciences and advanced analytics at VMware and senior manager marketing and digital analytics at Dell Technologies. He began his career as senior business analyst at Cognizant, working on large scale crm and analytics implementations for global clients.
Colleagues describe Mohan as a builder of teams as much as models. From managing global analytics rollouts to leading large cross functional units, he has consistently combined statistical rigour with commercial instinct.
At CoinDCX, that blend could prove timely. As crypto exchanges navigate regulation, volatility and rising user expectations, data is no longer a back office function. It is the compass. With Mohan at the helm of analytics, CoinDCX is betting that sharper insights will translate into deeper trust and broader adoption in a market that never sleeps.
