Infosys CEO S.

Gopalakrishnan, has said that they are seeing “greater demand for services from our

clients.” The supply of quality talent however, continues to dwindle, with the continued economic

recovery and increasing competition.

Just a few days ago, on the 16th of June, outsourcing firms including Tata Consultancy Services

(NSE:TCS), Wipro (NYSE:WIT), Cognizant (NASDAQ:CTSH) and Infosys, all lodged a complaint against

fellow outsourcer, Accenture (NYSE:ACN), due to violation of campus recruitment norms in India. Indian

outsourcing companies often recruit employees out of campuses in India as a recruitment strategy. The

companies begin placement by the final semester of the school year in accordance with Nasscom.

Accenture, however, has been accused of sending placements out a semester ahead of its competitors,

earning the ire of fellow outsourcing companies including Infosys.

Aside from that, the company has also implemented a new program called Green Channel, in an effort to

hire back ex-employees of the company, thereby reducing time spent on training new employees.

Infosys, last year is reported to have hired 20,000-22,000 people who were from non-computer science

backgrounds. For the last quarter, the company hired only 1,026 staff, which is comparably the slowest

pace of hiring in the last four quarters.

Attrition Problems

It is not only hiring that has affected Infosys’ margins, efforts to cut back on attrition within the

company haslead to increased wage hikes among employees.”Companies have given an average wage

hike of 12-14 percent offshore and 2-3 percent onsite to be competitive in an improving demand

scenario,” according to an analyst with a Mumbai-based brokerage.

This has however, contributed to the company falling short in its numbers. The company’s attrition rate

has shot up to 15.8% as compared to 11.1% one year ago and 13.4% last quarter. There were a total of

7,833 employees who quit the company.

According to company Board Member T.V. Mohandas Pai, “with the market opening up, attrition has

increased this quarter. We have taken several steps, including a compensation hike to reduce it.” He

further adds that, “one of the steps we are taking to reduce attrition is to enhance lateral hiring.”

Economic Problems

“Profitability was also hurt by currency volatility, a 30.4% higher tax charge and lower billing rates”, said

Chief Financial Officer V. Balakrishnan. A stronger rupee and the 1.6% fall in billing rates have affected

the company’s operating margins. Based on currency, the dollar rose 8% against the euro and 5%

against the pound, mainly due to the European debt crisis, affecting the dollar revenues of the company.

Currently the company’s second largest market after the US, Europe’s debt crisis has affected the

outlook for demand and the company’s margins. Company COO S.D. Shibulal, has said in a statement

with Reuters that, with Europe, “there are still concerns, local concerns as well as tail effects of the

previous recession. Of course, Europe entered the recession late and we believe it will also come out

late.”We believe that Europe will lag behind the U.S. for may be another quarter or two.
With the release of the Infosys’ quarter results; it would seem at this point that India’s number two

exporter is lagging behind its current rivals. Judging from the results released by fellow Indian

outsourcer, Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys will need to play catch up for the next quarter.

IPO. In 1995, Infosys set up development centers across cities in India and in 1996, it set up its first office in
Europe in Milton Keynes, UK. In 1999, Infosys became the first Indian company to be listed on NASDAQ. Today
(in 2006), Infosys has a turnover of more than $ 2billion and has employee strength of over 50,000. In 2002,
Infosys was ranked No. 1 in the "Best Employers in India 2002" survey conducted by Hewitt and in the Business
World's survey of "India's Most Respected Company." Conducted in the same year.

Along with the growth of Infosys, NarayanaMoorthy too has grown in stature. He has received many honors and
awards. In June 2000, Asiaweek magazine featured him in a list of Asia's 50 Most Powerful People. In 2001,
Narayana Murthy was named by TIME/CNN as one of the 25 most influential global executives. He was the first
recipient of the Indo-French Forum Medal (2003) and was voted the World Entrepreneur of the Year - 2003 by

Infosys company profile

1. Infosys Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: INFY) was started in 1981

by seven people with US$ 250. Today, we are a global leader in

of offshore outsourcing. The GDM is based on the principle of
taking work to the location where the best talent is available,
where it makes the best economic sense, with the least amount
of acceptable risk.

in revenues. And it's well on its way to cross $2 billion this year. Progeon, the unit that
manages business processes, is doubling every year and expects to reach $80 million in
sales this year. Thrilled investors in India value it more than rival Tata Consultancy
Services, which is two-fifths bigger in revenues. Infosys customers are happy too: 19 out
of 20 come back to the Bangalore company with repeat orders. Now, Infosys has its eye
on China. Of the 12,600 people it will hire this year, nearly 1,000 will be at its Shanghai
offices.
