Infosys Ltd., a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, announced its collaboration with Tennis Australia as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities, to drive new digital learning and accessibility initiatives building pathways towards learning and education for communities that are under-presented. This program comes under Infosys and Tennis Australia’s Digital Innovative Partnership, which was recently extended until 2026.

As Infosys continues to transform digital experiences for tennis players, fans, coaches, and the media at AO 2022 beyond the court, the company is commencing its journey to have a positive impact on the community. Infosys has worked with Tennis Australia for initiatives such as the Aces for Bushfire relief in 2020 and building an AO Virtual Hub in 2021 to enable digital tournament access in a pandemic-stricken year.

“We are extremely proud to be associated with Tennis Australia on many new digital accessibility and learning initiatives. When we renewed our Digital Innovation Partnership at the end of last year, we agreed that the next phase in our collaboration would be to mutually build programs that leave positive imprints on our community,” commented Andrew Groth, Executive Vice President, Infosys and Region Head, Australia and New Zealand.

In their 5-year journey together, Infosys and Tennis Australia have the vision to enhance accessibility, learnability, and inclusivity on and beyond the court, with the help of technology. This collaboration embarks the enhancement of Tennis Australia Leadership programs to engage and empower tomorrow’s leaders to make a positive impact in their communities.

Infosys will provide its next-gen digital learning platform, Springboard, to help enhance the leadership programs. With these programs, Infosys and Tennis Australia hope to create equitable opportunities and, in the future, positively impact grassroots tennis in the region. This partnership will continue to bring the sport closer to people and people closer to equitable outcomes, serving the shared vision of “tennis for everyone.”
