Bad news for Narayana Murthy, Infosys to pay fine of Rs 10000000 for not providing…, IT company enters into…
India's second-largest IT company, Infosys, has had one of its units fined in the United States. The penalty has been imposed on Infosys McCamish Systems (IMS), a subsidiary of Infosys BPM.
The Department of Financial Regulation (DFR) of the State of Vermont imposed the fine on IMS.
The company is accused of failing to provide timely and accurate information during the investigation of a cyberattack that occurred in 2023. Additionally, IMS reportedly delayed informing affected individuals whose data was potentially compromised in the breach. Fine On Infosys Unit
Infosys on Friday said its step-down subsidiary Infosys McCamish Systems and the US State of Vermont Department of Financial Regulation have entered into a 'stipulation and consent order' to resolve, without a hearing, the matter related to McCamish cyber incident.
Within 30 calendar days of the entry of the Stipulation and Consent Order by the Commissioner, IMS is required to pay an administrative penalty of USD 125,000, the Bengaluru-headquartered IT company said in a BSE filing.
'In continuation to our statement dated March 14, 2025, we would like to update that on July 9, 2025, Infosys McCamish Systems (IMS), a subsidiary of Infosys BPM limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Infosys limited) and the State of Vermont (United States of America) Department of Financial Regulation (DFR) entered into a Stipulation and Consent Order,' it said.
In simple terms, stipulation and consent order is a legal pact where parties agree to terms and conditions, to resolve or settle a case without more litigation. Infosys Plan To Settle Lawsuit
Infosys filing further informed that DFR had alleged violations of the Vermont Security Breach Notice Act by IMS. This was on the ground that IMS failed to respond to the DFR's request for information in the course of the investigation into the cybersecurity event with timely and accurate information and records and failed to provide timely and accurate notice of the cybersecurity event to data owners.
'IMS has entered into the Stipulation and Consent order to resolve the matter without a hearing. The Stipulation and Consent Order specifically records that IMS does not admit the existence of the alleged violations as above,' it said.
In March this year, Infosys had informed the stock exchanges that Infosys McCamish Systems reached an agreement to settle six class action lawsuits in the United States, in relation to 2023 cyber incident.

India proud to be most trusted friend of Maldives: PM Modi
Male: Calling Maldives "important" in India's Neighbourhood First policy and the MAHASAGAR vision, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that New Delhi takes immense pride in being Male's "most trusted friend" and has stood with Maldives as first responder in times of need. Making a statement to the press along with the Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu, PM Modi congratulated the people of Indian Ocean country on the 60th anniversary of its independence and thanked Muizzu for inviting him as the 'Guest of Honour' on this historic occasion. "This year, India and Maldives are also celebrating 60 years of their diplomatic relations. But, the roots of our relations are older than history and as deep as the sea. The commemorative stamps released today display traditional boats of both nations. This reflects that we are not just neighbours but also co-passengers," said PM Modi. "India is the closest neighbour of Maldives. The Maldives holds an important place in India's Neighbourhood First policy and its MAHASAGAR vision. India is proud to be most trusted friend of Maldives. Be it a natural disaster or pandemic, India has always stood with them as first responders. Be it making essential commodities available or handling the economy after Covid, India has always worked together. For us, it is always friendship first," he added. PM Modi emphasised that the increasing cooperation between two nations in the defence and security sector is symbol of "mutual trust." He also spoke about the Defence Ministry Building that is set to be inaugurated and was graced by a giant portrait of PM Modi, on Friday. "Mutual cooperation in the field of defence and security is a symbol of our mutual trust. The Defence Ministry building, which is being inaugurated today, is a concrete building of trust. It is a symbol of our strong partnership," he said. PM Modi announced that India will extend a Line of Credit (LoC) amounting to USD 565 million to the Indian Ocean archipelago. He stated that the two nations have taken several steps to enhance economic partnership. "Last year in October, during the President's visit to India, we shared a vision on Comprehensive Economic and Maritime Partnership. Now, this is becoming a reality. It is a result of that our relations are touching new heights. Inauguration of several projects have become possible. 4000 social housing units, built with India's assistance, will become a new beginning and a new home for several families in Maldives. The Greater Male Connectivity Project, the Addu Road Development Project, and the redeveloped Hanimaadhoo International Airport will transform this entire region into an important transit and economic hub. Soon, with the beginning of ferry system, commuting between different islands will be smoother. After that, the distance between islands will be measured in terms of just ferry time, and not GPS," he said. The two leaders made the joint press statement following their meeting during which they reviewed the entire spectrum of India-Maldives relations and reaffirmed their commitment to further strengthening bilateral ties. "To accelerate mutual investment, we are working towards finalising the Bilateral Investment Treaty. We are also in discussions to develop the Free Trade Agreement. Our goal is to move from paperwork to prosperity. With the local currency settlement system, we will be able to have direct trade between Rupee and Rufiyaa. The pace with which UPI is gaining momentum in Maldives, tourism and retail will strengthen," said Prime Minister Modi. He announced that India and Maldives will strengthen regional maritime cooperation through the Colombo Security Conclave and also termed climate change a "major challenge" for both nations. "Peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indian Ocean region are our shared goals. Together, through the Colombo Security Conclave, we will strengthen regional maritime security. Climate change is a major challenge for both our countries. We have decided to promote renewable energy, and in this sector, India will share its experience with the Maldives," he said. Earlier in the day, PM Modi was accorded a ceremonial welcome and guard of honour at the Republic Square in Male as he began his official engagements during a two-day State Visit to the country. In a special gesture, President Muizzu welcomed PM Modi at the airport in Male as he arrived from the United Kingdom. Maldives Foreign Minister, Defence Minister, Finance Minister and Minister of Homeland Security were also present at the airport to welcome PM Modi.

VC fund Yali Capital closes first deeptech fund at Rs 893 crore; exceeds target
Deeptech-focussed venture capital fund Yali Capital on Friday announced the final close of its maiden fund at Rs 893 crore (around $104 million). The fund, launched in July last year, has exceeded the target corpus of Rs 810 crore, which included a greenshoe option of Rs 310 crore. This is a provision that allows a fund to raise more capital than originally targeted in case of higher-than-expected demand. Through this fund, Yali plans to invest across early- and late-stage companies with a focus on deeptech sectors, including semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, genomics, aerospace/surveillance, and smart manufacturing. Yali has already deployed capital in five companies, including fabless chip design company C2I Semiconductor, healthcare startup 4basecare, and robotics startup Perceptyne. It plans to invest in three more companies by the end of this fund is helmed by Ganapathy Subramaniam, a former partner at Celesta Capital, and Mathew Cyriac, former private equity (PE) co-head for Blackstone in India and executive chairman of PE firm Florintree Capital Partners.'Nearly a third of our fund will be invested in late-stage deep tech companies. India has a real opportunity to build globally competitive public companies in this space,' said Cyriac. The Bengaluru-based fund is a Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi)-approved Category 2 Alternate Investment Fund (AIF). Infosys, Qualcomm Ventures, Tata AIG, DPIIT Fund of Funds for Startups (managed by SIDBI), Self-Reliant India (SRI) Fund, and Evolvence are among other investors who participated in the fundraise. 'We firmly believe in India's deeptech potential and are committed to backing visionary founders with patient capital,' said Subramaniam. In June, ET had reported that Indian deeptech funds are raising fresh funds to step up investments as more companies come into this space on the back of government initiatives, a favourable geopolitical landscape, and rapid technological advancement. Investments in deeptech companies doubled in the first four months of 2025 to $324 million across 35 deals against $156 million from 21 deals in the same period last year, as per data from Venture Intelligence.
