15% Infosys staff to return to office this week

Infosys Ltd will start the second phase of resuming operations this week, with about 15% employees expected to return to office, as the lockdown begins to ease across India. This translates into a little over 36,350 employees for the Bengaluru-based information technology major, which has a headcount of 242,371.

Infosys has reopened offices in all locations, though less than 5% of the employees are working in the office in the first phase, said Krish Shankar, executive vice president and group human resource head, Infosys. “We will commence phase two this week and ramp up gradually.”

The phased resumption of operations is in accordance with industry body Nasscom’s advisory, which has urged IT companies to follow a staggered approach by sending 10-15% of its employees to offices in the initial phase.
