Nearly 30 years after relocating its headquarters to the US, Cognizant remains true to its Indian origins by adopting a business model that leverages cheap offshore labor to arbitrage wage gaps across different regions. Such practices are commonly seen among Indian IT service providers, helping them effectively fulfill customers’ IT needs at lower costs. Thanks to India’s deep pool of tech talents, Cognizant was able to grow into one of the world’s leading IT service providers, with offerings in software development, system integration, and business process outsourcing.
