Larsen & Toubro Infotech (LTI) Interview Experience (On-Campus 2020)

Larsen and Toubro Infotech(LTI) recruited through our campus virtually in the last week of September 2020 and here is everything you need to know about LTI as a company, its recruitment procedure, and the opportunities it shall offer you after landing a job into it.

Company background: Founded as L&T Information Technology Ltd in December 1996, LTI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T). During 2001–2002 the company’s name was changed from L&T Information Technology Limited to Larsen & Toubro Infotech Limited and in the same year, the company achieved the assessed level of SEI Level 5. L&T Infotech dropped the word ‘Infotech’ from its name to reflect the changing business environment and rebranded itself as ‘LTI’ with a tag line of ‘Let’s Solve’ in May 2017.  

Larsen & Toubro Infotech Limited (LTI) is a global IT solutions and services company based in Mumbai, India. In 2017, NASSCOM ranked LTI as the sixth-largest Indian IT services company in terms of export revenues. According to the Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix for IT service providers, it was among the top 15 IT service providers globally in 2017.

Although L&T Infotech is basically a software company, it not only hires one for a particular job role but one must be comfortable in doing all the work he/she may be assigned and must be flexible enough to work for the company as one may need to relocate.
