Through the joint venture, Infosys will also gain "significant capacity" in terms of workforce, as it focuses on strengthening its footprint in Southeast Asia, the press statement said.Meanwhile, Trusted Source will provide Temasek and its other clients in the region solutions and technologies across cloud, data and analytics, cybersecurity, digital experiences and AI and automation, among others.Mohit Joshi, president, Infosys, said the joint venture will accelerate its efforts in the region, enhancing its existing presence as it helps clients navigate the next journey in their business transformation. "This development is a key element of our continued efforts to invest and have a presence in the regions in which we operate," he said.Temasek's CTO Jon Allaway said the partnership will also help unlock new capabilities and technology platforms that help Temasek, as the organisation continues its growth as a Singapore-headquartered investor, with a global presence.Most recently, Temasek's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Leone Investments, inked an agreement with StarHub to form a joint venture company. Known as Branded Ensign InfoSecurity, the new entity will merge StarHub's Cyber Security Centre of Excellence, its subsidiary Accel Systems & Technologies (ASTL) and Temasek-owned Quann, to form one of the largest cyber security companies in Asia, the press statement read.ASTL is a cyber security systems integrator specialising in the provision of security solutions, consulting and managed security services.
