India’s Infosys has once again emerged as the world’s third most valuable IT services brand and the fastest growing in the sector over the past six years, according to Brand Finance’s Global 500 2026 report.

Commenting on the findings, David Haigh, Chairman and CEO of Brand Finance, said, “Its AAA brand strength rating reflects a consistently powerful global brand, reinforced by ongoing expansion into key markets that continues to deepen client engagement and strengthen brand equity.”

Demand rises in AI services

The report said Infosys continues to see strong demand for its services in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital transformation. This growth has been supported by several large deal wins and expansion in key markets such as Europe and India, reflecting steady client engagement in priority growth areas.

Infosys also ranked as the world’s third strongest IT services brand, with a Brand Strength Index score of 86.8 out of 100. Brand Finance said the company’s improved brand strength is driven by higher familiarity and rising levels of brand consideration, preference, price acceptance, and customer recommendation.
