IT Firms Hiring Inorganically<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, it gets intersting as It gets interesting as these companies have been adding employees inorganically<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 IT companies have inducted at least 5,550 employees on their payroll inorganically, as per publicly available numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, it could go over 8,000 if other deals, whose numbers are not in public domain, are taken into account, the analysts say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, this addition in their headcount is being done either through rebadging deals or through acquisitions they are making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here rebadging is the transfer of employees from clients to IT vendors and many times are part of the deals that IT companies bagged from clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decline in Headcount<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, the Indian IT services firms saw a decline of 22,000 in their net aggregate headcount in the first quarter of FY24, according to the Jefferies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is much higher compared to a decline of 9,000 in their net aggregate headcount in March quarter of FY23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the case of the Infosys and Danske Bank deal, where the IT giant in June said that it will acquire 1,400 employees of the bank\u2019s IT center in India. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, it is adding another 400 employees from its latest deal with Liberty Global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another IT giant, HCLTech also announced inducting 400 employees from its deal with Cloud Software Group this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company completed the acquisition of the entire 100% stake in German automotive engineering services provider ASAP Group for $279 million during August this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the similar manner, the ASAP Group has 1,600 employees across different locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, UST acquired a Dallas-based telecom engineering firm, MobileComm and integrated more than 1,300 employees to strengthen its telecommunication practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving ahead, Xoriant acquired Thoucentric, a Bengaluru-headquartered specialized consulting firm along with its 450 employees, last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only these, other midcaps like Happiest Minds, Mphasis, Sonata and LTTS have made acquisitions this calendar year.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, Happiest Minds had said that it will hire 1,300 employees earlier  this fiscal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MD and CFO, Happiest Minds, Venkatraman Narayanan said, acquisitions also add to their total headcount, last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While giving an example, he mentioned adding 500 people to the family from the Madurai-based SMI that was acquired by us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
