Here are the key features of 'Aikido':
- Aikido will focus on design thinking, platforms and knowledge-based IT.

-Three steps forward Ki, Do and Ai; each of these by themselves help enterprises along a great new path, each of these helps bring together and tie together a lot of Infosys services the company offers to clients today and together the three of these become even more powerful than the three individually by themselves.
-The three add up to Aikido, which is an East Asian martial art with its deep rooted origin in Kerala. Aikido is all about transforming, converting, and leveraging the chaotic energy of an opponent into a great focused direction.
