Infosys a Top 100 most valuable brand in the world by Kantar BrandZ; Ranked among the most-trusted brands in India and the US

Published

on

BENGALURU, India, June 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Infosys (NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY) (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced that it has been ranked, for the third consecutive year, among the 100 most valuable brands in the world, according to Kantar, the leading marketing data and analytics business, in its annual BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands report released today. Infosys is ranked as #74 most valuable brand in the world and ranked as #20 most valuable global B2B technology brand.

“Even through a tough year of disruption and volatility globally, we stayed focused on delivering on our brand promise and let our purpose point the way for Infosys. Through the uncertainties, our clients trusted us to help them navigate their next with cutting edge digital-first, cloud-first, and AI-first approach. We remained committed to amplifying human potential and creating the next opportunity for all – people, businesses, and communities,” said Sumit Virmani, EVP and Global Chief Marketing Officer, Infosys. “It’s very heartening to be recognized for our endeavors and to be counted among the world’s most valuable brands,” he added.

This Kantar BrandZ recognition is a strong validation of the client trust that Infosys has earned, and the relevance of its capabilities – especially in domains like enterprise AI where emerging technologies like generative AI and foundational technologies like cloud continue to evolve by the day. The astute investments that brand Infosys has made in nurturing sub brands, like Infosys Topaz for generative AI-powered solutions and Infosys Cobalt for enterprise cloud, is paying rich dividends. In fact, earlier this year, Infosys was ranked a top-3 IT services brand globally, by Brand Finance, for the third year in a row.

Martin Guerrieria, Head of Kantar BrandZ, said, “Kantar BrandZ data shows that Infosys is among the top 6% of the most trusted brands in both India and the US. In both markets, Infosys is becoming more relevant to its customers by cementing its positioning as a trusted partner. BrandZ’s 2024 Most Valuable Global Brands report reveals that strong brands continue to thrive despite global economic uncertainty. Crucially, investment in effective marketing helps to improve customer predisposition and drive brand value growth, contributing significant dollar value to sustain business success.”

Infosys’ brand ambassadors – tennis icons Rafael Nadal and Iga Świątek have served to deepen the brand’s relevance as digital transformation partner to the world, through the highly visible ‘Champions Evolve’ campaign. The icons help credibly reinforce the strong track record Infosys has in digitally reimagining tennis, through the many brand partnerships it has forged within the ecosystem of the sport including the ATP, Roland Garros, the Australian Open, and International Tennis Hall of Fame. Outside of tennis, Infosys’ brand thrust is strengthening through its strategic collaborations with the Madison Square Garden, including key MSG properties New York Knicks, New York Rangers and the Madison Square Garden Arena, as well as Formula E, Dow Jones, The Economist, Financial Times and Handelsblatt Media Group.

This has been another year, for Infosys, of living its purpose, and playing an active role in making the world we work and live in more sustainable, inclusive, and equitably prosperous. For example, Infosys, in preparation for an AI-first future, has reached 11.75 million people through its digital skilling initiative. This includes learning opportunities created by Springboard – the company’s flagship reskilling program, with free digital content served globally. Infosys continues to be carbon neutral for the fifth year now. During the year, Infosys was also recognized in the top 100 of TIME Magazine’s list of World’s Best Companies of 2023.

Electric Era Teams with WEX to Drive Customers and Revenue to Retail-Based Charging Locations

Published

By

SEATTLE, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Electric Era, America’s leading retail-first EV charging company, today announced the addition of WEX® fleet payment processing services to their retail-based EV fast charging systems across the U.S.

Adding WEX fleet cards as a payment option underscores Electric Era’s unique strategy to design DC fast charging systems that function as marketing platforms for retailers to draw-in customers to grow sales revenues. With WEX, Electric Era’s chargers are available to WEX Fleet EV drivers to use at prominent fuel retailers in the Skycharger Network, Plaid Pantry and Space Age locations, and will be rolling out across Electric Era stations at Love’s Travel Stops, Giant Eagle and more soon.

“Our vision is to make EV charging as ubiquitous as traditional petroleum fueling with equally dependable charging stations located in safe, accessible locations to drive traffic and revenues to retail and food establishments,” said Quincy Lee, Electric Era CEO and founder. “By adding WEX, we’re creating new opportunities to drive even more store traffic to our retail customers, while simplifying payment processing for EV drivers and fleet operators.”

With the addition of WEX, commercial EV drivers will be able to use their WEX EV RFID or WEX DriverDash® mobile app to charge at Electric Era EV charging sites, and utilize WEX’s proprietary payment network to process payments, while simultaneously capturing charging data, driver ID, locations and vehicle mileage. This allows fleet managers to simplify billing, controls and expense tracking for both their electric-powered and internal combustion engine (ICE) fleet vehicles simultaneously.

“We’re focused on making mixed-energy fleet management seamless for fleet operators, and this is an important step toward making that happen,” said Sarah Booth, senior director, WEX Connected Fleet. “This collaboration with Electric Era adds reliable, retail adjacent EV fast charging to our growing network and will help our customers efficiently manage both electric and traditional fueled vehicles within a single account.”

Simple and easy to use, Electric Era’s EV chargers are available to all EV drivers and do not require special apps or accounts to use them. Simply tap a valid credit, debit or – and now a WEX RFID card – to pay for charging. EV fleet drivers can also pay via the WEX DriverDash mobile app.

A Retail-First EV Charging Platform
Founded by a SpaceX engineer, Electric Era reimagines high-power EV charging systems from the ground up to break down the barriers to rapid deployment of highly reliable DC fast charging systems. To make level-3 DC fast charging a profitable, market-driven solution, Electric Era designed their chargers specific for retail businesses to leverage retail adjacency and utilize the charging kiosks as an extension of company brand and retail space.

Electric Era’s patented battery-backed power architecture and energy management system enables their chargers to be installed as fast as 60-days, while delivering 400 kW max charge output with 99.8% per-port reliability – the new industry standard.

To help convenience stores and fuel retailers leverage the unique revenue-driving opportunities of DC fast charging systems, Electric Era provides complete start-to-finish, turn-key installations of their retailer-branded chargers – including successfully coordinating grant funding that reduces upfront CapEx costs to de-risk deployments and generate faster ROI.

About Electric Era
Electric Era is the only full-service EV charging solutions provider focused on the rapid deployment of highly reliable Level-3 DCFC systems at retail locations to grow and extend their retail space. Electric Era’s patented battery-backed charging architecture and bespoke, retail-first charging solutions deliver industry-leading power and reliability in a package that dramatically reduces installation time and energy costs.
