Infosys adds 5,043 employees in Q3

Bucking the trend of sequentially dropping headcount at large-cap IT companies, Infosys added 5,043 employees to its workforce in the December quarter.

According to the company management, the headcount increase can be seen as an indicator of improving demand environment. “It demonstrates we have confidence in where the market is and what we are seeing in it terms of the demand.

And that feeds into how we are raising the growth guidance,” Managing Director & CEO Salil Parekh said.
