“Driven by the dedication of our employees and the trust of our clients, we grew at the fastest pace in Q1 in a decade, at 16.9 per cent year-on-year and 4.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter in constant currency…This gives us the confidence to increase our revenue growth guidance to 14-16 per cent,” Infosys CEO and Managing Director Salil Parekh said.

Infosys Chief Operating Officer Pravin Rao said as the demand for digital talent explodes, rising attrition in the industry poses a near-term challenge.

“We plan to meet this demand by expanding our hiring programme of college graduates for FY22 to about 35,000 globally,” he added.

Infosys’ digital revenues stood at 53.9 per cent of total revenues, a year-on-year constant currency growth of 42.1 per cent, the filing said.
