Parekh noted that Infosys is actively recruiting and expanding its workforce, with a focus on developing expertise in Generative AI. The company is intensifying its efforts to become an AI-first organization, incorporating cutting-edge courses into its global digital reskilling program.

According to Infosys' latest annual report, the company's platforms have been enhanced with Generative AI features, further solidifying its position at the forefront of AI adoption. Parekh's comments underscore the company's confidence in the technology's potential to augment human capabilities, rather than replace them.

"So, at this stage, my sense is that the (AI) technology will help business to grow even further as opposed to anything else. We don't see any layoffs in Infosys with these new-age technologies," he said.

With its sights set on harnessing the power of AI, Infosys is poised to continue growth in the industry and increasing recruitment.
