Cognizant Eyes India IPO, Poised to Become Nation’s Second-Largest IT Firm

Global IT services giant Cognizant is reportedly planning to list its shares in India, a move that could significantly reshape the domestic tech landscape. If successful, the listing would position Cognizant as India’s second-largest publicly traded IT company, trailing only Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). The company already has a strong operational base in India, with over 250,000 employees and multiple delivery centers across the country.

The proposed IPO would make Cognizant one of the few multinational IT firms to be listed both in the U.S. and India, joining the ranks of Infosys and Wipro. Analysts suggest the listing could unlock substantial value for Indian investors and enhance Cognizant’s brand visibility and talent acquisition in the region.
