Return To Work: How Many Infosys Employees Were In Offices Last Week

During the Q2 press conference, Salil Parekh said, "Last week, across India there were 45,000 employees. That is a very huge number given where we were. It is gradually increasing."

In the company's financial audit report, Parekh said, "Our strong large deal wins and steady all-around growth in Q2 reflect the deep relevance and differentiation of our digital and cloud solutions for clients as they navigate their business transformation."

The CEO added, "While concerns around the economic outlook persist, our demand pipeline is strong as clients remain confident in our ability to deliver the value they seek, both on the growth and efficiency of their businesses. This is reflected in our revised revenue guidance of 15%-16% for FY23."

Meanwhile, Nilanjan Roy, Chief Financial Officer said, "No delay in onboarding freshers, hiring could exceed the target. We have opened our Mysore campus. We are on track to onboarding freshers. We have already hired 40,000 freshers out of our plan of hiring 50,000 freshers for the year and the number could go up."

For the second quarter ending September 30, 2022, Infosys attrition declined sharply to 27.1% against 28.4% in Q1FY23 and 20.1% in Q2FY22.

Roy said, "Operating margins in Q2 expanded sequentially by 150 bps, helped by our operational rigor. While supply-side challenges are gradually abating as reflected in the reducing attrition rates, they continue to exert pressure on our cost structure."
