The company expects a 6% to 8% salary hike for Indian employees, while international increments will follow previous trends. Promotions have already been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstoday.in\/latest\/corporate\/story\/infosys-to-issue-salary-hike-by-feb-end-average-raise-to-range-from-5-8-report-464351-2025-02-12\">issued<\/a> in batches since December, aligning with the firm\u2019s anticipation of higher technology budgets in the upcoming fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Infosys Faces Backlash Over Freshers Layoff<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid positive developments in salary hikes, Infosys has been heavily criticized for laying off nearly 700 freshers from its Mysuru campus. These employees, who joined in September 2024 after long onboarding delays, were abruptly dismissed, leading to widespread condemnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harpreet Singh Saluja, president of the IT employees&#8217; union NITES, called the layoffs \u201cshocking and unethical,\u201d alleging that security personnel were deployed during the termination process. The move has triggered outrage on social media, with many questioning Infosys\u2019 treatment of fresh graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Industry-Wide Challenges in Hiring and Onboarding<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The layoffs highlight a broader trend in the Indian IT sector, where delays in onboarding have become common due to shifting market conditions. Several IT firms, including Infosys, have struggled to synchronize hiring with fluctuating demand, causing uncertainty for new graduates. Many freshers who waited over two years for employment now face unexpected job losses, raising concerns about employment stability in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Infosys Balances Growth and Workforce Adjustments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Infosys prepares for salary hikes and promotions, its handling of fresh hires has sparked controversy. The contrasting developments reflect the company\u2019s efforts to navigate market fluctuations while managing costs. As IT spending is expected to rise, Infosys aims to capitalize on growth opportunities, but its recent layoffs could impact its employer reputation in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Infosys, one of India\u2019s top IT firms, is set to issue salary increment letters by the end of February, with pay hikes ranging from 5% to 8%.
