We see hiring come back as the economic environment improves and spending on digital transformation picks up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of quarters ago, it was a totally different story as Infosys was more on proof-of-concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now, the picture has changed as now the IT service provider is working on actual projects with clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No changes have been observed by Information technology company Infosys in the discretionary spending from the levels seen in January-March quarter.
