Infosys Reports Significant Profit Decline

Infosys, a global leader in IT services, has reported an 11.7% decline in its net profit to Rs 7,033 crore for the fourth quarter compared to the previous year. This financial downturn has led to signals of reduced performance bonuses for employees in the quarter ending March 2025.

Employee Bonuses Under Scrutiny

During recent discussions, HR personnel and delivery managers at Infosys have notified team members about lower bonus payments, attributing this to the company's decreased profits. Senior leadership, however, reassured employees that this situation is temporary and promised to consider enhanced bonuses for high-performing staff once business growth improves.

Salary Revisions and Industry Trends

Earlier in February, Infosys distributed salary revision letters, offering increases ranging from 5% to 8% for the majority of its workforce. Meanwhile, competitors like TCS have put salary revisions on hold, and Wipro remains silent on the matter, reflecting broader uncertainties in the IT services industry.

Looking Ahead

With a revenue forecast for 2025-26 indicating minimal growth and new policies like mandatory office attendance, Infosys employees are navigating a period of adjustment. The company's leadership has acknowledged the extra hours many staff members are putting in, including weekends, and has reminded them of past benefits during more prosperous times.
