Question

Which was the first Indian company to be listed in NASDAQ?

• A. TCS
• B. Wipro
• C. Infosys
• D. Cognizant

Hint:

This IT company listed its shares on NASDAQ back in 1999.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

This question tests knowledge of Indian corporate history in global stock markets.

1. TCS: TCS listed on Indian exchanges in 2004 and never listed on NASDAQ.
2. Wipro: Wipro has ADRs on the NYSE, not NASDAQ, so it does not fit here.
3. Infosys: Infosys became the first Indian company to list on NASDAQ, doing so in March 1999.
4. Cognizant: Cognizant was founded in the US as a subsidiary and was never an "Indian company" listing abroad in this sense.

So Infosys is correct, since it made history as the first Indian firm on NASDAQ.

Let's summarize:

• Infosys listed on NASDAQ in 1999, opening the door for other Indian IT firms to raise capital in the US market.

This event is often cited as a landmark for India's IT sector going global.
