People close to the development said that Infosys is seeing a better demand environment and the appointment letters will be sent gradually to everyone who is waiting to onboard by December of this year. They said that with Infosys revising its revenue guidance upward to 3-4% for the full year against its earlier guidance of 1-3%, the company now requires more headcount than earlier.
Meanwhile, last week, Infosys’ chief executive, Salil Parekh, in an interview to PTI, said, “We changed some dates but beyond that everyone will join Infosys and there is no change in that approach.”
IT union Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) last month filed a formal complaint against Infosys to the Ministry of Labour and Employment over the delayed onboarding and “ongoing exploitation and unprofessional treatment” of over 2,000 young engineering graduates. These students were selected for System Engineer (SE) and Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) roles during the 2022-23 recruitment drive.

Harpreet Singh Saluja, president at the IT employee union NITES, said, “Now that most of the 2000 young engineering graduates who were selected for System Engineer (SE) got their joining date, around 350 graduates who were selected for Digital Specialist Engineer (DSE) roles are still to get their joining dates. We will keep a vigilant eye for the rest of them.”

ET had earlier reported that while some students have moved on to get other jobs, some waited and some failed to get other jobs even as Infosys continued to delay the joining dates without any certainty around the onboarding.
