Kyndryl is an American multinational information technology
infrastructure services provider that designs, builds, manages and
develops large-scale information systems. It is currently the world's

business applications and processes, support workloads, and enable
modern work experiences

of geographic segment performance to Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA

It formed a strategic partnership with Google Cloud focused on digital

transformation projects and helping enterprise customers become more
data-driven and sustainable, combining the firms' capabilities in data and
analytics, artificial intelligence, and infrastructure modernization. [25]

On September 28, 2023, the Financial Times noted that Kyndryl was
separating its Chinese arm, influenced by increased tensions between
the United States and China

offering
