Bengaluru-based IT services major Infosys has said it plans to hire around 20,000 fresh graduates in FY27, as per reports, signalling a continued focus on building its talent pipeline, even as the company navigates a mixed employment trend.
Chief Financial Officer Jayesh Sanghrajka said during the company’s earnings conference that fresh hiring will remain a key part of its growth strategy. The announcement comes at a time when global tech demand remains uneven, but Indian IT firms continue to invest in long-term workforce expansion.
The hiring guidance also underscores Infosys’s focus on balancing growth and operational efficiency even as the company reported a decline in overall employee headcount in the March quarter.
