Infosys is continuing to hire in spite of perceived fears of a slowdown, said Mr S. Gopalakrishnan, Executive Co-Chairman and Chairperson, Executive Council, Infosys Ltd.
“There is volatility in decision making, but we are continuing with our hiring plans,” he told media after addressing the Seventh India Innovation Summit 2011. In spite of the volatility, Mr Gopalakrishnan said that there were no talks about budget cuts.
Discussing the Delhi High Court blasts, which killed 12 and injured 75, he said that Infosys was trying to provide as much security as it could. Though the blasts had not affected the IT industry, he said that Infosys was working in tandem with the Central Industrial Security Force on a disaster recovery plan.
He, however, refused to be drawn into a discussion about the visa problem and said, “These are not things to discuss in a public forum.”
Infosys shares closed at Rs 2,338.65 on the BSE on Thursday, up 2.07 per cent against the previous close.
