Wipro to Onboard 10,000-12,000 Freshers in FY26

Wipro, one of India’s leading IT services companies, has announced ambitious hiring plans for the fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26).

The company aims to onboard 10,000-12,000 freshers from campuses, continuing its strategy to bolster its workforce and address rising attrition rates.

Wipro’s hiring plans come at a time when the IT industry is experiencing a demand recovery and revival of discretionary spending in several sectors.

The company’s focus on fresh talent is aligned with the broader industry trend of addressing talent shortages and ensuring a steady supply of skilled professionals.

Wipro FY26: Hiring Strategy, Addressing Attrition

Wipro’s Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO), Saurabh Govil, revealed that the company plans to hire 2,500-3,000 freshers every quarter in FY26.

This consistent approach aims to avoid overcommitting and ensure that the company can effectively absorb and integrate new hires.

The company has also resumed regular campus hiring after a “stop-start” approach in the past two years.

Despite a headcount reduction in Q3 FY25, Wipro remains committed to its hiring plans.

The company has taken steps to ensure that candidates remain industry-ready, including providing skilling opportunities through online platforms and assessing candidates on technical and communication skills before onboarding.

This focus on fresh talent is part of Wipro’s strategy to improve employee utilization rates and lower attrition.

Leadership Quote & Comparison with Previous Quarters

During the earnings call, Saurabh emphasized the importance of cautious and consistent hiring.

He stated, “We don’t want to go overboard and make offers that we can’t absorb. We have learned the lesson, and we want to go more cautious but more consistent.”

This approach is aimed at maintaining quality standards and ensuring that new hires fit into the evolving demands of the IT industry.

In Q3 FY25, Wipro’s headcount stood at 232,732 employees, a decrease from 239,655 employees in Q3 FY24.

The company had onboarded approximately 7,000 freshers by Q3 FY25 and aimed to hire 2,500-3,000 freshers in the next quarter.

The hiring plans for FY26 reflect a more stable and consistent approach compared to the fluctuations seen in previous quarters.
