Infosys adds 4,480 staff in Q2 FY27 and cuts FY27 revenue growth guidance

Infosys reported a net increase of 4,480 employees in Q2 FY27, bringing its total headcount to 332,542. The firm hired more than 8,000 fresh graduates, keeping its full‑year target of 20,000. Revenue rose 11% to Rs 49,244 crore and net profit grew 6% to Rs 7,823 crore. The company lowered its FY27 revenue growth outlook to 1‑2% in constant‑currency terms.

The cut in revenue growth guidance signals a more cautious outlook for the Indian IT sector and may temper investor expectations for Infosys's earnings growth this fiscal year.
