Infosys Adds 4,480 Employees in Q2FY27 Amid Mixed IT Sector Hiring Trends
In Q2FY27, Infosys increased its workforce by 4,480 employees, reaching 332,542, with plans to hire 20,000 freshers in FY27. Other major IT firms also saw headcount changes: HCLTech added 6,450, TCS increased by 4,258, while Wipro reduced its staff by 6,716. Despite these additions, experts caution that the modest net hiring reflects cautious demand growth in the IT sector. Attrition rates slightly declined, and Infosys reported a 6% rise in net profit driven by AI and energy sector demand.
