PNN Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], June 21: Consumer preferences have evolved with the times. Nowadays, everyone appreciates services and solutions that are convenient, technologically advanced, and add value to their lives. The laundry sector is no exception, as it, too, reflects evolving consumer expectations. People no longer perceive laundry as a tedious activity and prefer outsourcing the work to professional laundry stores in their locality. It led to the rise of the modern Indian laundry companies that are innovative, customer-centric, and ROI-driven. These companies are motivating customer behaviour by focusing on quality-driven services that are reliable, affordable, sustainable, and convenient. In recent times, Washmart has emerged as a key driver of this change by expanding its network across the country and building India's growth-driven laundry franchise infrastructure.

BENGALURU: Software services firm Cognizant Technology Solutions will invest 15.82 billion rupees ($182.76 million) to build a new campus in south Indian city of Vishakapatanam that will create about 8,000 jobs, the state government announced on Friday. Commercial operations will begin in March 2029, an Andhra Pradesh government press release said. Cognizant did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The announcement comes just months after India's top IT firm, Tata Consultancy Services , unveiled plans for 13.70 billion rupee campus in the same city, and is expected generate 12,000 jobs. The move aligns with Cognizant's strategy to optimise real estate costs. In May 2023, Chief Executive Ravi Kumar S said the company would relinquish 11 million square feet of office space globally, mainly in India's largest cities, while investing in tier-2 Indian cities. Globally, IT companies, including those in India's $283 billion sector, are taking cost-cutting measures such as monetising real estate assets and delaying wage increases amid demand uncertainty. Last month, the Teaneck, New Jersey-based company raised its annual revenue forecast and beat first-quarter results driven by increased demand for AI-powered IT services. Cognizant expects 2025 annual revenue between $20.5 billion and $21.0 billion, compared to previous outlook of the midpoint of $20.30 billion to $20.80 billion.
