Despite new hires being on the rise, companies across the board reported a dip in total employees. <br /><br />Even Wipro doubled its hiring in 2019-20, however, its total employee count was lower than the year before. Even its net addition of new employees has been the lowest in comparison to TCS and Infosys. While TCS’ numbers were in the ten-thousands, Wipro was still in single digits if not bleeding employees. <br /><br /><div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="75669358" title="Hiring at Infosys and Tech Mahindra is down at least 40% in line with the trend in top five IT firms⁠— and it's not just because of COVID-19" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><br />Last quarter, while Infosys also reported a dip in employees, Wipro’s drop in net addition was four times higher. <br /><br /><div type="image" title="Hiring IT" msid="76972636" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Hiring across top 3 Indian IT services companies&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div><br />Even though Wipro plans to keep hiring in the coming quarter, Govil pointed out that all hiring will happen depending on demand. <br /><br />Its utilisation levels this quarter also stood at 75% — 1.6% higher than the previous quarter.
