Infosys IT graduates receive joining dates after advocacy group accuses firm of "exploitative practices"

Infosys has faced significant backlash from the Nascent Technology Employees Senate (NITES) over its hiring practices, particularly accusations of exploitative behavior towards engineering graduates.

The NITES letter addressed to the labor minister expressed serious concerns about Infosys's handling of offers to engineering graduates, calling the practices unprofessional and exploitative.

Salil Parekh, CEO of Infosys, confirmed that all graduates who received offers would eventually be onboarded, yet specifics on timelines remained vague and uncertain.

Gradually, after much scrutiny, Infosys confirmed that approximately 1,500 graduates would officially start on October 7, 2024, amid ongoing concerns about treatment and respect for hires.
