One of India’s leading IT services companies, TCS, seems to be recovering from the pandemic and has announced that pay hikes will be resumed

16000 New Employees Hired In July-September; TCS Reports Lowest Attrition Rate 

In April, TCS had announced that they will temporarily freeze the salary hikes due to the COVID-10 pandemic. Employees were promised that they will not be laid off. Also, freshers that were to be onboarded were also told that their offers were valid.

And now, reports suggest that the company has observed an increase in its profit and margin in the July September period, thus justifying its decision to resume new hiring and salary hikes.

Chief Executive Officer Rajesh Gopinathan said, “The strong order book, a very robust deal pipeline, and continued market share gains give us confidence for the future.” 

In the July-September period, TCS had hired around 16000 new people, and the attrition rate has also been at an all time low, at 8.9%. After the new hiring, the company now has a total strength of 4.53 lakh employees at the end of September.
