Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, announced a strategic collaboration with Polestar, the Swedish electric performance car brand. This engagement aims to create a base for Polestar’s development of in-car infotainment, Software and Electrical / Electronics (SW&EE) engineering, user experience (UX), and cloud-powered digital services. Infosys will also leverage in-tech, its latest acquisition in the R&D space, to complement the engagement.

Polestar will benefit from leveraging Infosys’ strategic assets like engineering labs, design studio, and Infosys Living Labs to enhance innovation.
Maria Lexe, Head of Digital at Polestar, said, “Polestar is excited to partner with Infosys to establish a tech hub in India. Infosys has a successful background with similar operations, and we are confident in their ability to lead this tech hub in order to generate IT efficiencies and empower innovation.”
