Infosys' nearly 1 lakh employees to move into specialist roles as AI reshapes tech industry | Company Business News
Infosys plans to move 25% to 33% of its 3,20,000 employees, about one lakh people, into specialised roles. It also wants a 6,000-member team of frontier engineers as artificial intelligence (AI) reshapes IT. This matters because IT billing is moving away from headcount-based pricing, so skills will matter more than sheer numbers. Infosys says it won't lay off staff.
Key Statutory Highlights

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you run a business or work in IT services, review your team's skills and plan AI training early, and check whether your client contracts still price work on headcount. Speak to your CA or HR advisor before you change staffing or billing terms.
