Mumbai: Infosys (NSE, BSE, NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced a multi-year partnership with women’s tennis World No.1 Iga Świątek. The 22-year-old is already a four-time Grand Slam Champion and one of the most dominant forces in the women’s game today, who has been ranked World No. 1 since 22 April, for a record 70 consecutive weeks. She has bettered her skills and capabilities in the face of every new challenge to rise to the top. Businesses and individuals seeking to navigate their next can draw inspiration from how she has steadily evolved to become a champion.
Infosys has helped reimagine tennis for over eight years as the digital innovation partner for the ATP Tour, Roland-Garros, Australian Open, and The International Tennis Hall of Fame. The company has transformed the experience of the game for the tennis ecosystem leveraging advanced digital technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), cloud, and data analytics.
Infosys will now work closely with Świątek’s team to build an advanced data analytics and video dashboard by leveraging AI to amplify her training and help rapidly evolve her strengths and match strategy through continuous learning. Several of Infosys’ clients embrace a similar approach, taking advantage of digital advances like AI, machine learning, cloud, and more to accelerate their evolution and transformation. Infosys and Świątek will also work together to create programs to inspire and empower young women around the world – for example, conceptualizing, and promoting programs to help women from underserved communities build careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Iga Świątek, said, “I am delighted to collaborate with an organisation like Infosys that’s bringing their knowledge of technology to change the tennis experience for so many people. Although tennis and technology may seem quite different at first, there’s so much in common – including strategic thinking, learning and developing in every situation, the ability to evolve your game, and adjust. I am also moved by all that Infosys is doing off the court to bring more opportunities that empower people, businesses, and communities to move into the future. With Infosys, our goal is to also inspire people, especially young women, to prepare themselves to play strong and meaningful roles in a world that is not possible to live in and thrive without strong digital skills and knowledge.”
