In 2021, India’s top five IT companies aim to recruit in large numbers to meet the increasing demands for talent who can work on projects remotely for customers looking to digitally transform their businesses. Tata Consultancy Services, India’s largest outsourcing company, expects to employ > 40,000 employees from campuses in 2021, while Infosys is expected to hire nearly 25,000, according to the Economic Times. Wipro, which has not published a hiring schedule, has stated that it will hire more employees this year than the last.
Last week, Infosys’ chief operating officer, Pravin Rao told analysts that “growth has picked up” and that “most of the growth volumes are occurring in India, so there is vast potential for talent.”
The top five, TCS, Wipro, Infosys, HCL Technologies, and Tech Mahindra, will add more than 110,000 new employees, up from 90,000 in 2020. Some of this hiring is due to growth and some due to turnover.
