Hiring and utilization
®
Infosys: the Employer-of-choice

Adjudged “India’s Best Employer” by the
first Business Today-Hewitt Survey
conducted in December 2000
› Ability to attract the best and the brightest

High investment in technology and training
› 14 weeks of intensive training for new hires
› 55 member faculty, including 8 Ph.Ds

All employees in Infosys are covered by the
stock option plan

Incubation mechanism for employees to
launch their own ventures. Piloted
OnMobile - a end to end wireless solutions
provider

Attrition rate of 11% for fiscal 2001 and 9%
for fiscal 2000
®
Our views on labor cost pressures

Wage pressures for freshers may not arise because of
increased market penetration. This is due to:
› Softening of wages in the US markets due to lay-offs
› Slowdown in hiring by second / third tier companies in India
due to a decline in business opportunities

Wage pressures already exist in the market for project
managers since demand outweighs supply
› This situation may not change

We require a growth rate of ~3-5% in per capita revenues
to neutralize wage pressures
®
The impact of stock options

Stock options are not a substitute for salaries.

Stock options are granted as additional incentive

Stock options are widely distributed amongst employees

Most of the senior employees of the company (around 1550) are covered
under the 1994 stock option plan that created substantial wealth in their
hands

62% of options outstanding under the 1994 plan (covering 1,472
employees) will vest after 2 years

Part of the grants under the 1998 and 1999 option plan, have already
vested

Stock options have created 80 dollar millionaires and over 1,150 rupee
millionaires, at Infosys

The employee ownership in Infosys including the outstanding option
grants is 11.7%

We continue to focus on margins
