Indian software services firms have made ambitious hiring plans for 2021-22 on the back of a healthy deal pipeline and rising demand for digital transformation and cloud technology as the world recovers from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The top four firms – Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys, HCL Technologies and Wipro – collectively plan to recruit 91,000 employees from campuses this year, Times of India reports. Tata Consultancy Services will be hiring around 40,000 freshers, almost the same as last year, and Infosys plans to recruit 24,000, up from the 15,000 it had planned earlier.
