Stock markets close lower on selling in IT stocks, fresh foreign fund outflows
Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty settled lower on Thursday (July 17, 2025) following selling in IT shares and investors remaining in a wait-and-watch mode ahead of the outcome of the U.S.-India trade talks. The 30-share BSE Sensex dropped 375.24 points or 0.45% to settle at 82,259.24. During the day, it fell by 415.21 points or 0.50% to 82,219.27. The 50-share NSE Nifty closed lower by 100.60 points or 0.40% to 25,111.45. Fresh foreign fund outflows and subdued quarterly earnings dented investors' sentiment, experts said. Among Sensex firms, Tech Mahindra declined nearly 3% after its June quarter earnings failed to cheer investors. IT services firm Tech Mahindra reported a nearly 34% year-on-year increase in consolidated net profit to ₹1,140.6 crore for the quarter ending June 30, 2025, on the back of growth in communications and financial services verticals. Infosys, HCL Tech, Eternal, Larsen & Toubro, Tata Consultancy Services and Axis Bank were also among the laggards. However, Tata Steel, Trent, Titan and Tata Motors were among the gainers. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth ₹1,858.15 crore on Wednesday (July 16, 2025), according to exchange data. "Indian equity benchmarks ended marginally lower as investors exercised caution amid subdued Q1 earnings announcements, particularly in the technology and banking sectors. Market participants remained sidelined due to elevated valuations of large-cap stocks and FII outflows owing to the uncertainty regarding US-India trade deal; however, any positive developments could amplify market sentiment," Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Japan's Nikkei 225 index and Shanghai's SSE Composite index settled in the positive territory while Hong Kong's Hang Seng ended lower. European markets were trading higher. The U.S. markets ended higher on Wednesday (July 16, 2025). Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.06% to $68.49 a barrel. On Wednesday (July 16, 2025), the Sensex edged up 63.57 points or 0.08% to settle at 82,634.48. The Nifty ended 16.25 points or 0.06% higher at 25,212.05.

HCLTech doubles down on specialised talent hiring
Bengaluru: HCLTech is offering up to four times higher compensation for freshers who specialise in high-demand areas such as AI, cybersecurity, and digital engineering. Ramachandran Sundararajan, chief people officer at HCLTech, said, "Our recruitment emphasises niche capabilities in data, AI, cyber and enterprise technology. " He noted that about 15%–20% of this year's fresher intake is expected to fall into the premium skill category, subject to candidates meeting company standards. HCLTech aims to exceed last year's fresher hiring number of 7,850 in the current fiscal. While there is no fixed target for premium fresher hiring, the company sees strong early traction. HCLTech has significantly onboarding 1,984 freshers in the June quarter—double the intake from the same period last year. To support its AI-first approach, HCLTech has trained 127,000 employees in foundational AI, with 42,000 certified in advanced generative AI. Currently, 12,000 professionals are engaged in GenAI projects—a number that is expected to grow in the coming quarters.

Despite a sequential decline of 161 basis points in EBIT margin—largely due to premium hiring and skill-location mismatches—the company expects to resolve these headwinds within two quarters. On lateral hiring, HCLTech continues to take a demand-led approach. Sundararajan said, "Lateral recruitment has remained steady over five quarters, focusing on meeting client requirements." The company believes it stands out through its engineering depth, proprietary IP, and AI-enabled service transformation, even as GenAI adoption becomes more widespread across the industry. Vijayakumar said, "Our focus is on comprehensive enterprise solutions beyond basic coding assistance." While acknowledging that only 15%–20% of the available talent is currently "AI-ready," he said HCLTech remains confident in its talent acquisition and development programmes.
