Infosys Plans Major Fresher Hiring Drive After Strong Financial Performance
Company reports solid revenue and profit growth while announcing plans to recruit 20000 fresh graduates as demand for digital and AI services continues to expand across global markets
India’s technology sector is showing renewed hiring momentum, with Infosys announcing plans to recruit around 20000 fresh graduates in the current financial year. The move comes on the back of strong financial results and growing demand for digital and artificial intelligence driven services.
The company reported a notable rise in profitability during the January to March quarter. Consolidated net profit increased by more than 20 percent compared to the same period last year, reflecting improved operational performance and steady client demand. Revenue from operations also saw double digit growth, highlighting continued business expansion across key markets.
For the full financial year, Infosys maintained a positive trajectory. Net profit crossed the previous year’s figures with a growth of over 10 percent, while annual revenue also posted a steady increase. These results have given the company confidence to continue investing in talent, particularly at the entry level.
Chief Financial Officer Jayesh Sanghrajka said the company had hired a similar number of freshers in the previous year and intends to maintain that pace. The hiring push is expected to support long term growth plans as companies worldwide accelerate their digital transformation efforts.
At the same time, the company’s workforce numbers saw a decline in the last quarter compared to the previous one. Despite this, Infosys still employs more than three lakh professionals, many of whom continue to work in hybrid models that combine remote and office based work.
Chief Executive Officer Salil Parekh pointed to the increasing importance of artificial intelligence in driving business growth. He noted that the company’s AI related services are gaining traction among clients, helping them unlock new value and efficiency in their operations.
Infosys is also focusing on long term sustainability goals, working on a framework that spans over a decade to address environmental targets alongside business growth. This reflects a broader shift in the IT industry toward responsible and sustainable operations.
Meanwhile, rival Tata Consultancy Services also reported steady financial performance, with its quarterly profit rising by around 12 percent. The company continues to lead in scale, posting strong revenue growth during the same period.
The hiring plans from Infosys signal confidence in the sector’s outlook, especially as global demand for technology services remains resilient. For fresh graduates, the announcement offers a significant opportunity at a time when hiring trends across industries have been uneven.
