Aspirations2020?
India has the potential to show the fastest GDP growth over the next 20 to 50 years. Growth
could be higher than 8 % over the next 30 years (Source: BRIC Report). While most countries
in the world will face aging population phenomenon, India will have the maximum population of
young workforce during 2020-2040. (Source: BRIC Report). We hope that this kind of
programs help students to become global professionals to be able ready to face global work
places.

Infosys stands tall for its values, and felt that the time had come to sow the seeds of a dream of a
future India as the 'Knowledge Super Power as well as prepare the young workforce for this
opportunity. Thus the idea was born to initiate a project called Campus Connect which would
reach out to students and enhance their skills without any commercial interest.
