India’s IT sector generated a record 104,825 jobs for the period April ’18 – Apr ’19, — the highest job creation in this sector in the last three years. IT companies Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys filled 53,303 positions in FY 18-19.
According to the Q3 result of HCL Technologies, 12,328 employees were added to their workforce, while Wipro added 8,559 jobs to its payroll till Q3. The number of women in Tata Consultancy Services workforce rose to 35.9 percent, and the total number of nationalities represented stood at 147.
This jump in hiring can be attributed to robust campus placements, apart from localization initiatives in different client geographies, including the U.S. However, while organic employee addition played a big role, inorganic additions such as re-badging client employees as part of large deals clinched, contributed to this jump.
“While a lot of non-linear growth is happening, I must share our hiring is very robust. We are doubling our hiring on campuses this year as compared to what we had done last year,” Saurabh Govil, president and chief human resource officer at Wipro, said. “The demand for such people is more as we feel that if we hire people from campuses, we can train them to become what we want,” Govil added.
