Infosys resumes fresher hiring after 2 years, plans 20,000 graduate jobs in 2025
Infosys resumes fresher hiring after 2 years with 20,000 graduate jobs, while boosting AI and cybersecurity capabilities with a new Hubballi center.
Infosys has resumed its campus hiring drive after a two-year pause, following through on its earlier commitment to recruit fresh graduates despite concerns over IT job losses. According to The Economic Times, senior employees have been invited to join campus panels to interview students for digital specialist engineer (DSE) roles.
The move aligns with CEO Salil Parekh’s assurance in July that the company would avoid layoffs and hire about 20,000 graduates this year.
The hiring update has come after the IT giant delivered an average performance bonus of 80 per cent to the majority of its employees for the first quarter (April–June) of fiscal year 2025–26.
Additionally, Infosys is banking on strategic investments in artificial intelligence and reskilling to maintain its edge as automation reshapes the industry. As part of this push, Infosys has launched a state-of-the-art Center for Advanced AI, Cybersecurity, and Space Technology at its Hubballi Development Center in Karnataka. The new facility, part of the global ‘Infosys Living Labs’ network, will support clients worldwide across sectors such as manufacturing, retail, financial services, and healthcare.
With over 1,000 employees already working out of Hubballi, Infosys aims to position the city as a hub for cutting-edge digital solutions, including AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and engineering services. The company has also strengthened ties with local institutions like IIIT Dharwad and KLE Tech to drive innovation and nurture talent in the region.
