Infosys' head of architecture and technology Navin Budhiraja, in an interview to ET, said that the IT company has doubled the size of its special supercoders team under the ‘Expert Track programme’.
"What I see going forward is MANA becoming the centerpiece of all of the automation work that we do. We want to bring AI to the enterprise to solve a set of issues that we see. MANA is a culmination of the work we're doing around the Big Data platform, around the Automation platform, around the knowledge platform," Budhiraja told ET.
Infosys is getting more executives on board who have specialised in futuristic areas and who work on IAP, IIP, IKP platforms.

When asked about short supply of talent in these skills, Budhiraja said hiring was not easy.
"We've hired a couple of people already, their focus is around AI and natural language processing. This is a hard skill to find. We are hiring key folks both in the US and India. We are also looking for talent in areas such as next-gen apps, apps that are self-healing, etc -that's the kind of talent we are looking for. Also for product management and product marketing,” he said.
