Infosys has postponed salary revision decisions, leaving employees in limbo as the company navigates AI-driven cost pressures and a cautious outlook for fiscal 2027. During a recent town hall, management stated that no timeline has been set for salary hikes, citing macroeconomic uncertainty and subdued client spending. The communication itself has been delayed by four months.
While the company has not directly attributed the wage freeze to AI productivity tools, the broader context includes the impact of automation on traditional roles. On the positive side, AI-driven efficiencies may enable Infosys to bid more competitively for contracts, potentially preserving jobs in the long term rather than resorting to cost-based layoffs.
Employees are advised to identify three tasks in their weekly routine that could be automated by AI, using that list as a proactive step toward future-proofing their careers.
