Infosys flags hiring risks, moves to hybrid recruitment model
These included challenges such as the risk of fake profiles, reduced opportunity to build personal rapport with candidates, and technical issues like poor connectivity.The company acknowledged that such factors can weaken the overall quality of hires.INFOSYS FLAGS MOONLIGHT, EXPANDS GCC AND AI SERVICE MODELInfosys also raised concerns about extended remote work. It noted that working from home, while efficient during the pandemic, has increased the risk of dual employment or moonlighting.The company warned that this could lead to potential conflicts of interest, breaches of confidentiality, and reduced productivity.The filing also pointed to broader changes in client behaviour. Infosys observed that some clients are building or expanding their own Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in locations such as India, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia to exercise greater control over their IT functions and spending.In response, Infosys has launched a dedicated GCC practice to support clients in this space.It has appointed Deval Shah, former managing director and country head of Danske IT and Support Services India, as the new GCC leader.Alongside its hiring changes, Infosys is also pushing deeper into data and AI-driven service models.The company is offering clients a self-funding approach that promises to reduce total cost of ownership while restructuring their digital infrastructure. The twin shifts, in recruitment and service delivery, reflect how Infosys is adapting to a changing technology landscape and client expectations.- Ends

Markets trade lower in early trade ahead of TCS earnings
Benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty were trading lower in early trade on Thursday (July 10, 2025) as investors stayed on the sidelines ahead of the start of earnings season, with IT major TCS scheduled to announce its Q1 numbers later in the day. Tariff related uncertainty also led to caution in the market, analysts said. The 30-share BSE Sensex declined 76.99 points to 83,461.90 in early trade. The 50-share NSE Nifty dipped 23.15 points to 25,452.95. From the Sensex firms, Tata Motors, Infosys, Bharat Electronics, Bharti Airtel, HDFC Bank and Mahindra & Mahindra were among the laggards. However, Tata Steel, Power Grid, Axis Bank and Bajaj Finance were among the gainers. "Market is unlikely to break the narrow range in which it has been trading for more than a month now. Resilience of the global markets and sustained fund flows into Indian markets have the potential to support the market at the bottom end of the range. A clear break out of the upper range of Nifty 25,500 may happen on positive news of a trade deal between US and India. But this is partly discounted by the market and, therefore, will not be sufficient to sustain the rally well beyond Nifty 25,500," VK Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist, Geojit Investments Limited, said. With the results season kicking in from today there will be lots of stock-specific action in response to results, he added. India, which is negotiating a trade pact with the U.S., has not figured in the list of countries that have been issued tariff letters by the Trump administration on Wednesday (July 9, 2025) so far. In Asian markets, South Korea's Kospi, Shanghai's SSE Composite index and Hong Kong's Hang Seng were trading higher while Japan's Nikkei 225 index quoted lower. The U.S. markets ended in the positive territory on Wednesday. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) bought equities worth ₹77 crore on Wednesday (July 9, 2025), according to exchange data. "Markets are driven by two key triggers: tariff threats and TCS kicking off Q1 earnings on July 10 post-market," Prashanth Tapse, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities Ltd, said. Global oil benchmark Brent crude dipped 0.06 per cent to $70.15 a barrel. On Wednesday (July 9, 2025), the 30-share BSE Sensex fell by 176.43 points or 0.21% to settle at 83,536.08. The Nifty declined 46.40 points or 0.18% to end at 25,476.10.

Sensex falls over 100 pts, Nifty below 25,450; IT, pharma stocks top laggards
Indian benchmark indices traded lower on Thursday as gains in financial stocks were offset by weakness in IT shares. Markets may see volatility during the day amid anticipation around a potential trade deal with the US and the start of the June-quarter earnings season, with TCS set to report its results later today. At 9:38 am, the BSE Sensex was down 115 points, or 0.14%, at 83,420, while the Nifty50 edged down 36 points, or 0.14%, to 25,440. Among Sensex stocks, Tata Steel , Axis Bank , Power Grid , Bajaj Finance , and M&M opened with gains. On the other hand, Tata Motors , Infosys , TCS, Tech Mahindra , and HCLTech saw early declines. On the sectoral front, Nifty IT was the top laggard, slipping 0.5%, weighed down by losses in Wipro and Infosys. Nifty Auto, Pharma, and FMCG indices also opened in the red. In the broader market, the Nifty Midcap100 rose 0.2%, while the Nifty Smallcap100 gained 0.35%. Among individual stocks, shares of Enviro Infra Engineers rose nearly 6% after the company, as the lead partner in a joint venture with AltoraPro Infrastructure, bagged a Rs 395 crore pollution control project from the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC). Meanwhile, Asian markets opened higher, mirroring overnight gains on Wall Street after U.S. President Donald Trump issued final tariff notices to seven smaller trading partners. Investors are closely watching further developments, as the Trump administration inches closer to a trade agreement with the European Union. Earlier this week, Trump also signalled that a deal with India could be announced soon. Back home, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT services firm, is set to report its June-quarter results after market hours on Thursday. Global Markets Asian stocks rose slightly on Thursday, riding on optimism from Nvidia's brief rise to a world-record $4 trillion valuation and as investors largely shrugged off U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff salvos. Trump also turned his trade ire against Brazil on Wednesday as he threatened a punitive 50% tariff on exports to the U.S. and issued tariff notices to seven minor trading partners. The latest moves did little to rattle markets, leaving MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan up 0.2%. The Nikkei fell 0.56%, while China's CSI300 blue-chip index rose 0.2% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index added 0.1%. EUROSTOXX 50 futures gained 0.18% and FTSE futures advanced 0.33%. FII/DII Tracker Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net buyers of equities worth Rs 77 crore on July 9, while Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) were also net buyers, investing Rs 920 crore on the same day.
