Infosys to Hire 20,000 Freshers in 2025
Salil Parekh, chief executive officer of Infosys, has announced that the company will hire freshers in 2025-26, despite ongoing layoff concerns in the IT sector. As for the hiring target, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh told reporters the company has already recruited over 17,000 employees in FY26’s first quarter and will continue to hire college graduates.
He said, “We’ve been deeply focused on AI transformation — whether it’s building AI agents or developing smaller language models internally.”
The importance of investing cannot be overstated. Our investments in digital and AI, agents, and language models, as well as reskilling employees, were significant. Our internal efficiency efforts also contributed to supporting these investments without major disruptions. Parekh told the publication that this approach allows his team to work on more projects at once.
In regards to salaries, Parekh said Infosys had completed its appraisal cycle for the fourth quarter and the first quarter of last year. Having completed this cycle, we are beginning to evaluate the timing of the next round, as we do after every cycle. As per the existing process, we will announce the next cycle at the appropriate time,” he explained.
