Infosys, India's second-largest IT company in terms of market capitalisation, reported a significant increase in consolidated profit for the quarter ended 31 March 2026. According to the company's quarterly earnings report released on 23 April 2026, the IT major saw a 21% year-over-year (YoY) rise in consolidated profit to ₹8,501 crore for the quarter.
The company's headcount, however, dropped by 8,440 in the quarter, with a large number of layoffs among software professionals. Infosys chief financial officer Jayesh Sanghrajka attributed this decline to "quarterly seasonality." Despite the sequential decline, the total headcount for Q4 of FY26 stood at 328,594, with an addition of 5,000 employees in FY26.
The 12-month (LTM) attrition rate has increased from 12.3% in Q3 to 12.6% in Q4 of FY26. Notably, around 40% of Infosys' workforce is comprised of women.
