Infosys to set up big facility for Apple
I have been knowing this from long time and today times conformed this so posting its article
Times of india article
BANGALORE: There will be a lot more of India in Apple products soon. The $108-billion maker of iPhones and iPads is scaling up sharply the work it outsources to Infosys Technologies.
The Bangalore-based IT giant has rented a 1.40-lakh-sqft office space near its headquarters in Electronics City to house employees who would work exclusively for Apple. Sources in the real estate industry who did not want to be named said the building would have the capacity to house 1,400 people. The centre will be operational by the end of the year.
It was previously reported that Apple CIO Neil O'Connor had met the Infosys top brass in Bangalore in January, leading to speculation that Apple was looking at outsourcing more to Indian companies. When contacted, Infosys said in an emailed response: "We are unable to participate in your story."
Infosys had a role in developing apps for iCloud Helped develop applications for Apple Retail Store 2.0. It has also helped in the design of frameworks for the iOS.
Apple outsources application development and maintenance work to the extent of Rs 490 crore to Indian IT services providers. It is said to account for $50 million (Rs 275 crore) of Infosys' annual revenue of $7 billion.
Assuming that the new space that Infosys is taking for Apple will house a new set of employees , it would mean that Apple would be giving an additional business of at least $65 million (Rs 357 crore) every year to Infosys, considering that each Infosys employee accounts for an average annual revenue of $47,000. Infosys has about 1.5 lakh employees.
Former employees of Infosys who had worked on the Apple account said the current work is being executed by employees across Bangalore, Mangalore, Bhubaneswar and Thiruvananthapuram . The ultra-secretive Apple does not disclose the nature of work it does with third parties. But the former Infosys employees said Infosys played a role in developing applications for iCloud - a service that allows users to access music, calendar, documents and email via the cloud and which automatically syncs with your Mac, iPad and iPhone.
Infosys has also worked on developing applications for Apple Retail Store 2.0 launched last year, where iPad displays took the place of paper placards in Apple stores. The iPad offered an interactive way to explore the features and prices of the products being advertised, and it even had a call button to summon an Apple representative to the product for assistance.
Infosys has also helped in the design of frameworks for the iOS, the operating platform for Apple devices that provides interfaces needed to write software for the platform. Many Infosys employees are trained on Cocoa, Apple's native objective-oriented application programming interface.
Apple, with revenues of $108 billion in 2011, is the largest publicly traded company in the world by market capitalization, thanks to the phenomenal success of the iPhone and iPad. The market cap briefly touched $600 billion in April this year and currently is around $571 billion .
In 2006, the company had moved to establish a 3,000-people strong technical support centre in Bangalore. But it withdrew within months following a massive backlash from Apple fans around the world who felt India would not be able to deliver the quality of support they expected. However, it looks like the quality of Indian IT outsourcing work has been too good to resist.

Meet the country's youngest apps programmers
Meet the country's youngest apps programmers
Written by Sam Daniel, Edited by Mala Das | Updated: July 14, 2012 21:17 IST
Chennai: Chennai's Shravan and Sanjay are probably the country's youngest mobile application developers and perhaps, one among the youngest developers around the world. They are brothers, just 10 and 12 years old. Already three of their apps are available for download on iPads and iPhones. The first is a game called "Catch Me Cop". There's an app for children to learn the alphabet and a prayers app for those on the move. The downloads have crossed the 10,000-mark with users from across thirty countries.
Their father Kumaran is an IT expert who introduced them to computers at an early age. What began as a hobby initially is now making money for them. Sanjay says the he and his brother were very excited when Apple accepted their game first. He says, "There are millions of apps in Apple stores. For me such a young developer to get my apps published, wow".
The budding techies say Steve Jobs and Bill Gates inspired them. They want to specialise in educational apps. Presently, they are developing an app for students who miss classes. Shravan Kumaran explains, "When students take leave for various reasons, this would record all class room activities and put it on the cloud. This would reach your device and you can watch the entire class room activity by the teacher, the exercises etc". Another app in the making is "mobile navigation for the visually challenged". Imagine the mobile phone giving voice alerts to a visually challenged person about the things around him or her! That's what they are working at.
Shravan is in Class VIII and his younger brother, Sanjay, is a Class VI student. Did the parents force them or pressure them to study? Their mother Jyothi Lakshmi says no. "We don't even compel them to study. We always tell them they should enjoy whatever they do", she adds.
The boys are aiming high. Their dream is to design the world's lightest tablet. They've launched a company called GoDimensions. Just like Bill Gates and Steve, both have earmarked a portion (fifteen percent) of their profits to charity, for the cause of children in particular.

Every 7th Mac sold in India is used for IOS development.
From the survey conducted by me and the data from the Apple resellers shows that every 7th Mac sold in India is taken by the developer for IOS development.Even teenagers in Bangalore have started developing their own apps.They want to learn and earn some pocket money as well.
The companies are buying Macs in bulk for the development of IOS apps.
"Now a days customers ask us for the xcode installation while buying the Mac"-One of the Apple Reseller in Bangalore.
Its good to see Developers showing interest in IOS development in India.
So next year WWDC 2013 you might see more Indians taking part and as a result tickets might sold out in 27 Min's!!
What do you think on it?

- Apple now has $110 billion dollars in the bank
- iOS device sales recently crossed the 365 million mark
- There are now more than 600,000 apps in the App Store
- 200,000 of those apps are iPad-specific
- iCloud now has more than 125 million users
- Apple has 363 retail stores (not counting stores within stores)
- Retail stores saw over 85 million visitors last quarter
These numbers are particularly interesting when you consider the short amount of time in which they were achieved. For instance, iCloud has only been around since last October. And Apple’s iOS business is less than 5 years old.
Perhaps most noteworthy, however, is the fact that Apple now has $110 billion dollars in cash and assets. A year ago the company was sitting on just over $50 billion. And it’s not every day that a major corporation doubles its cash hoard in just 12 months.

Apple to Add 500 New Jobs at European Headquarters in Ireland.Apple india Reports to European Headquarter so what does it mean india?
RTÉ reports that Apple is making plans to add 500 more jobs at its European headquarters in Cork, Ireland, bringing the total headcount at the site to 3,300 as the company works to continue expansion of its business in the region. The company plans to construct a three-storey office block next to its existing plant in the city to cater for the expansion of its business in Europe, the Middle East, India and Africa.
Apple has been in Cork for 30 years and currently employs 2,800 people in the city. Apple expects to add the new jobs over the next 18 months, and the move appears to be on top of plans for 350 jobs in downtown Cork announced less than a year ago.
The company's main campus in Cork was in the news earlier this week after Greenpeace activists scaled a building to protest Apple's use of coal-derived power at its data centers.
Apple of course continues to expand its workforce at and around its corporate headquarters in Cupertino, California, with the company snapping up a number of leases in the area to support the growth as it works toward building a new campus for up to 13,000 workers. The company is also expanding at its other primary employment hubs, currently working with governmental authorities on a plan to add 3,600 at its administrative and support center in Austin, Texas, doubling the size of its workforce there.

Indian Evolution: from Apes to Apps | OPEN Magazine
Indian Evolution: from Apes to Apps | OPEN Magazine
The portly figure of Gagandeep Singh Sapra, Open’s gadget geek, walks into this magazine’s office. Instead of technology, though, he has food on his mind. Thankfully, it barely takes the first few bites of what a food vendor across the office can rustle up for him to launch into a discussion with yours truly on Indian apps for smartphones—those neat little pieces of software that execute specific tasks on your whizbang handset, developed specifically by Indian developers and used primarily by Indian iPhone users.
Sapra schleps out his slick iPhone and iPad and lays them right next to our half-eaten rice plates. Not to be left behind, yours truly brandishes his own Jedi lightsaber—the latest iPhone 4S. Together, the two of us get down to listing the five most useful iPhone (3+) apps developed by Indians for Indians.
Earlier, the two of us had had an intense session on Twitter, with my attempt at Twittersourcing information on the best Indian-made iPhone apps for Indians in the considered opinion of the country’s Twitterati. ‘Tough question,’ replied a tweet from @AtulChitnis, former COO of Geodesic, an Indian company that provides mobile solutions (a job that includes developing apps, among other services). ‘Would be easier if you ask which are the most useful ones,’ he tweeted, proceeding to name his best five in no particular order. Next, on came Sapra—@thebiggeek—with his five. Then, all hell broke loose. There was a mini-war of tweets over which apps were developed abroad and which were desi.
In a country where an estimated 100 million apps are downloaded on smartphones every month, there are plenty of complaints about design and lazy coding. Some apps, groan several users on iTunes’ customer review section, lack backend support; the registration processes of banking apps are leading culprits on this count. And others find their apps’ utility strangled by the stuttering speeds of India’s 3G telecom networks. Siri, a voice-driven app that features a talking aunt on the iPhone, is a fine example of what streaming breaks can do—the talking app comes up with the sort of answers you’d expect of a drinking buddy eleven drinks down.
After several exchanges of tweets, speaking to app developers and coders, scouring reviews on Apple’s iTunes store, and randomly picking on iPhone users on the Delhi Metro and in other public places, the two of us shortlisted five ‘useful’ Indian apps. We have left out apps for gaming, pornography, religious devotion and astrology, and we have also excluded inbuilt apps for photos, videos, messaging, social networking and managing contacts. Here is the list of five, in no particular order:
NDTV
It was tough zeroing in on this one in the news category. Smartly designed and developed by Udupi-based Robosoft Technologies for NDTV Convergence Pvt Ltd, this free app gives the Indian user plenty of choices when it comes to live news, including real-time notification of breaking news. Citizens can become news gatherers themselves and send in what they see via the app’s NDTV iWitness feature. There are other features too. The only customer complain about this app are the advertisements, which are a little too instrusive.
The other news apps that came close to being picked were IBN Live, Mint, India Today (which has video clips within text stories), and Times of India. Some app users also mention Pulse on Twitter. Developed by two Stanford graduates from India, this app is an aggregator that delivers news customised to the user’s needs.
MAPMYINDIA
The only paid app to make our list (price: $49.99 / Rs 2,490), this is a voice-guided GPS navigation system developed by Sygic AS specifically for India. The maps are packed with both graphic and voice instructions that guide you street-by-street to your destination in any of its 1,200 Indian towns and cities mapped. Once installed, this 731 MB app resides in your phone memory, so you need no net connection to use it. “This is a great example of why localised apps are the future in India,” says MapMyIndia fan Rajat Agrawal, who runs bgr.in, a popular gadgets and technology portal.
ZOMATO
Developed by Foodiebay Online Services, this is a great urban app that lets you search across 14,000 restaurants, spanning nine cities: Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Jaipur. It smartly detects your location and recommends the best restaurants around those coordinates. If you don’t like its pick, all you need do is shake your phone (as you would a jar of tambola chips), and, presto, a new suggestion pops up. For directions, it uses Google maps, and lets you surf the eatery’s menu, reviews, photos and discounts. You can feed it your own reviews and photos.
SAAVN
In the absence of live FM radio apps, this free facility developed by a firm called Saavn is the best Indian music app for your iPhone. Though it requires iOS4 or a latter edition of this Apple operating software, it has an amazing catalogue of hundreds of thousands of Indian songs that include Bollywood music, bhangra, bhajans, ghazals, and more. The app lets you create your own playlist and lets you share it real-time on Facebook Timeline.
BOOKMYSHOW
What the Indian Railways and air travel industry failed to do for domestic travellers equipped with iPhones, BookMyShow has done for movie-goers. Created by Bigtree Entertainment Pvt Ltd, this app lists movie shows, and lets users choose seats and buy them directly on their smartphone through multiple payment options. The new version of this app promises the same facility for plays, concerts and sports events.
Other apps that marginally missed the cut here were mundu TV, Tata Sky Mobile Access and, last but not least, ICICI Bank iMobile.
