It should be 700,000 and I don't know if most of them are Americans, from what I see those companies have acquired a lot of other businesses around the world and hire people there also. So for sure they employ around 700k people around the world but saying that most of them are americans would probably need some source to back it up.
EDIT: TCS had "The number of non-Indian nationals was 21,282" in 2013.
EDIT2: Cognizant "The company has more than 255,800 employees globally, of which over 150,000 are in India"
EDIT3: Infosys "Its workforce consists of employees representing 122 nationalities working from 32 countries (37 countries as per the base location)."
So Americans are minority in those companies.
- clay_to_n 10y agoAs an aside, "7,00,000" is common to see in India. 1,00,000 (100,000) is 1 lakh. So 700,000 is said as "seven lakh" and written as 7,00,000. If you go even higher, 10,000,000 is written as "10,00,00,000" and called "1 crore".

- umanwizard 10y agoThe last number you wrote (10,00,00,000) is ten crore, not one.
- clay_to_n 10y agoYou're totally right and the commas should have tipped me off to that.
- sidcool 10y agoYou focussed on wrong things. No one said Most of Them. I said Many of Them. There's a difference. And if it wasn't clear earlier, let me state it clearly. The three companies have most of their employees in India. But there are people employed in other countries too.
