Axis Bank to Increase Campus Hiring Amid AI-Driven Workforce Restructuring
Axis Bank plans to increase campus hiring to around 12,500 in fiscal year 2027, up from approximately 11,500-11,600 in FY26, despite a decline in its overall workforce to 101,337 employees. The bank is adapting to artificial intelligence by reducing some routine transaction-processing roles, redeploying affected staff, and focusing on customer-facing positions like relationship management. Emphasis is on recruiting young talent, skill development, and aligning workforce strategy with technology-driven changes in the financial sector.
