IN the past few years, the majority of employees of top-tier IT services companies have received their wage hikes in single digit (4% to 9%) and only top performers have received double-digit hikes.

However, when it comes to wage hikes, generally, mid-sized IT firms such as Coforge, KPIT have provided better hikes (mostly in double-digit) over their larger counterparts. Though it depends on top performers and specialisation, HR experts say mid-sized companies are growing faster in niche areas and so they offer better hikes.
