India\u2019s IT Industry Faces Over 50,000 Potential Job Losses by Year-End<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Times of India report stated that around 25,000 people were laid off between 2023 and 2024, and this figure could potentially double in the current year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies are reportedly using different methods to reduce staff \u2014 including citing<\/a> \u201cpoor performance,\u201d delaying promotions, or asking employees to resign voluntarily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phil Fersht, CEO of HFS Research, said that many large firms have \u201csecretly laid off a significant number of employees\u201d this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Niti Sharma, CEO of Teamlease Digital, predicted that total layoffs in the IT industry could reach between 55,000 and 60,000 employees by the year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major companies such as TCS and Accenture have already begun large-scale layoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TCS reportedly plans to cut about 12,000 more jobs by March 2026, which equals around 2% of its total workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accenture has already laid off approximately 11,000 employees globally between June and August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee Unions Accuse TCS Of Firing 6000 Employees Illegally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major IT employee unions \u2014 including KITU, AITE, and UNITE \u2014 have accused Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) of mass layoffs in violation of the Industrial Disputes Act. The unions allege that the company retrenched 6,000 employees without seeking mandatory government approval, urging state and central authorities to act against what they called \u201ccorporate impunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to TCS\u2019s Q2 FY26 report, the company\u2019s total workforce fell to 5,93,314 from 6,13,069 in the previous quarter \u2014 a decline of 19,755 employees. TCS\u2019s CHRO Sudeep Kunnumal explained that around 6,000 employees were part of \u201cinvoluntary attrition,\u201d as the firm adjusts its workforce amid changing business dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employee groups have rejected TCS\u2019s claim of voluntary exits, calling the layoffs coercive and unethical. They allege that employees were moved to the bench without notice, pressured to resign within hours, and even female staff on maternity leave were threatened with termination if they sought extensions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
