Infosys Q4 Results: India's second-largest IT firm, Infosys Ltd, announced its Janaury to March quarter results for the financial year ended 2024-25 on Thursday, April 17. The IT major's voluntary attrition rate rose to 14.1 per cent as of March 31, 2025, compared to 13.7 per cent at the end of the third quarter of the 2024-25 fiscal year. 

The voluntary attrition rate witnessed a 40 basis point rise to its 14.1 per cent level in the Q4 results, compared to 13.7 per cent in the third quarter results, as per the filing data.

“So the overall headcount has increased by 6,000. We have hired 15,000 freshers, so the balance is obviously the attrition at various levels that has happened, and the rate is across multiple factors and opportunities that people get outside. It can be GCC's, it could be competition, it could be an employee going for further studies, so those factors play out,” said Jayesh Sanghrajka, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Infosys.

The CFO also reiterated that the company is set to hire 20,000 freshers as per its guidance for the financial year 2025-26.
