Infosys signals a hiring and reskilling-led approach as AI adoption accelerates, even as peers restructure their workforce.
Infosys has ruled out layoffs even as artificial intelligence reshapes the global IT services sector, with chief executive Salil Parekh stating that the company does not expect job cuts in the near term.
In an interview with Moneycontrol, Parekh said the company has not carried out layoffs over the past year and does not foresee any such move ahead, despite automation and AI tools becoming central to software development and delivery.
“We have not done any layoffs in the last year and we don’t see anything of that sort coming up,” he said.
The stance positions Infosys apart from several industry peers that have undertaken workforce restructuring in response to automation-led efficiencies.
