HCLTech, which is one of the biggest IT companies in India, aims to hire about 15% of its new employees for specialized and AI-related jobs. This follows a trend in the industry where 15 to 20% of new hires are considered ready for AI work.
The company is creating a group of top talent with skills that are in high demand and is offering much higher pay—up to 3 to 4 times more than usual for new hires.
Although HCLTech hasn’t set a specific number, it added 1,984 new employees in the first quarter of FY26.
The total number of employees slightly dropped to 223,151, with a low employee turnover rate of 12. 8%.
For the financial results, the company saw a 10% decrease in net profit compared to the same quarter last year, reaching ₹3,843 crore, which was lower than what analysts expected.
However, revenue increased by 8% to ₹30,349 crore. The company still expects revenue to grow by 3 to 5% for the full year when measured in the same currency. It also predicts EBIT margins to be between 17% and 18%.
