The Bengaluru airport was busier than other days on Monday. In a rare gesture, Infosys had brought back more than 200 people — comprising employees and their family members — in a chartered flight.
The Infoscions, as employees of India’s second-largest information technology (IT) services company are called, were stuck in the US ever since the Covid-19 pandemic hit global airline services. According to sources, 76 families took a Qatar Airways flight from San Francisco on Sunday evening and reached Bangalore International Airport after a 20-hour flight.
Infosys declined to give details, but it is reliably learnt that these employees were stuck in the US due to various reasons. Some had travelled for project work but could not return due to ban on travel.
