Cognizant is based in the US but has most of its workers in India. It manages computer systems and provides outsourcing services and consultancy. In its second-quarter results of 2012, Cognizant overtook Infosys as the Indian IT industry’s second-biggest company by revenues.

Put simply, it wants to be more like Accenture or IBM.
