According to a report by The Times of India, Infosys has unveiled plans to hire 20,000 fresh graduates in 2025, reaffirming its commitment to talent expansion amid a competitive IT landscape. As AI becomes increasingly central to operations, the company is also scaling up its employee reskilling programmes to align with the evolving technological ecosystem.
CEO Salil Parekh confirmed that Infosys aims to onboard around 20,000 college graduates this year, following 17,000 hires in Q1 alone. As India’s IT sector faces structural shifts driven by AI, Infosys is leveraging the opportunity to upskill existing talent and expand its workforce. Over 275,000 employees have been trained internally in advanced digital competencies, with a strong emphasis on AI and automation technologies.
AI is now pivotal to Infosys’ delivery models, creating productivity gains ranging from 5% to 15% in software development, and even higher in customer support and data-intensive tasks. Tools like Infosys Finacle, the company’s core banking platform, combine automation with expert oversight, delivering up to 20% improvement in operational efficiency. These outcomes underline the company's dual investment in innovation and skill enhancement.
