“INFY (Infosys) expects to hire fewer freshers in the future, enabled by higher productivity,” said BMO Capital Markets analysts Keith Bachman, Bradley Clark, Adam J. Holets, and Jonathan Stein, on 16 December, citing interaction with the firm's management.
“INFY also envisions potential for revenue per headcount to increase,” the research firm said. “Management expects headcount to grow modestly over the next few years due to increasing employee productivity.”
