Infosys market cap zooms past $100-bn mark, TCS shares go past Rs 13.5-trillion cap

Mumbai: Bengaluru-based information technology giant Infosys has sped past the $100-billion mark (Rs 7.45 lakh crore) in market capitalization. With a record-high share price rise of Rs 1755.60 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on Tuesday, August 25, 2021. The feat has also made the company the fourth in the $100 billion club, after Reliance Industries, Tata Consultancy Services, and HDFC Bank.

Infosys stock rallies 40% this year

Aided by a massive buying interest in information technology stocks, Infosys shares too saw themselves rally 40 per cent this year. In the process, the Infosys stock had been outperforming the Sensex, which zoomed 16.6 per cent.

Due to the work from home situation, Infotech shares were being steadily picked up on the uptrend in demand for digitalization and transformation to cloud computing. 

Infosys had, in July, revised revenue guidance to 14-16 per cent for the current financial year while maintaining its margin guidance at 22-24 per cent, said an NDTV report. The report added that Infosys’ revenue in constant currency terms jumped 42 per cent while revenue from its digital business moved up by 53.9 per cent. Net profit for the June quarter saw a rise of 23 per cent annually to Rs 5,195 crore.

Infosys, TCS ride buying interest in IT stocks

IT stocks are indeed the flavour of the season, going by the 41.28 per cent rise in the Nifty IT index. Looking at the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares over the past month would make it more transparent. 

Business Standard reported, TCS saw its market capitalization running past the Rs 13.5-trillion mark, aided by a 15 per cent rise in stock, in a month. TCS had outperformed the market by surging 15 per cent last month. 

TCS has become the second listed company to cross the Rs 13.5 trillion market cap. A sharp rally aided the performance in the stock price. With these numbers, TCS is now less than just 3 per cent away from the Rs 14 trillion market cap milestone.

Currently, the infotech major is at second position in the overall market cap ranking, behind Reliance Industries, which has a market cap of Rs 14.51 trillion.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
