Company Nationality
Yup... it's an Edit War.
I don't know what some of you are trying to prove here but the company was incorporated in the USA... not India. The law could care less where the employees live... it's where its legal entity is registered. Cognizant is an American corporation. Take your wishful thinking somewhere else.

Cognizant is an Indian company[1]
That was removed. Given that nearly 40% of the employees are in India, and the leaders seem to be of Indian decent I think it inappropriate that the fourth word in the listing is the word American and that the true colors are put in a small paragraph at the end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.76.209.132 (talk) 06:19, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Some of the company's leader's "seeming to be of" Indian decent, and "40% of employees" working in India are not acceptable reasons for calling the company "Indian". The company is Teaneck-based and Nasdaq-listed. It is an American MNC. Given the frivolous nature of this neutrality flag, I am taking this off under "It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given.". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scenecontra (talk • contribs) 17:30, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
Given that many complaints about the company are written in stilted English (https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Cognizant-considered-among-worst-IT-companies-in-India) (https://www.quora.com/Which-company-is-best-in-India-Accenture-or-Cognizant-Why) (https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-Cognizant-Technology-Solutions-RVW4856162.htm) . Even while saying it is an American Company Abhishek Shukla, who worked at Cognizant, points out it has Indian leadership and culture.

Exxon is incorporated in New Jersey - however they say they are a Texas company. The article has "July 1997, Dun & Bradstreet bought Satyam's 24% stake in DBSS for $3.4 million.[8][9] Headquarters were moved to the United States," — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.191.84.25 (talk • contribs) 06:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
I also find it amusing that Scenecontra and 240b:11:4c20:4710:61c8:3a27:67f5:2d27 go out of their way to say it is a United States company (see edits made May 1 - May 10, 2019 or so.)
I suspect Scenecontra would call Exxon a New Jersey company and Medtronic an Irish company. I disagree and think that the nationality of the founders, culture, and location of employees should weigh heavily in making that determination. Where the executives want to live - likely a tax haven with favorable laws - should be a minimal factor.
Also, can SceneContra edit his comments? I think by "neutrality flag" he means "nationality". And if this is frivolous, just let us have our way and call it an Indian company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.191.83.57 (talk • contribs) 15:38, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
Not sure it is relevant, but, "Average annual salary in Cognizant is INR 8.2 lakhs." Or about US $11,000. (https://www.ambitionbox.com/salaries/cognizant-salaries) 75.191.88.100 (talk) 05:12, 19 October 2021 (UTC) Anon.
