“We haven’t seen any cancellations (of projects) but onboarding of new projects has been delayed a little. However, we are seeing a lot of green shoots; today, we have 5,000 open requirements, so we are recruiting in some areas, which are good, neutral and positive (areas),” said Apparao VV, its chief human resources officer.
Verticals such as transportation and manufacturing are facing stress, as clients are themselves facing difficult times, he added.
The Noida-headquartered company will take a call on its annual appraisal process closer to July when it is due, Apparao said.
