Infosys Headcount and Attrition Q1 FY26
Infosys’ total workforce stood at 323,788 employees at the end of Q1FY26, up by just 210 employees from 323,578 in Q4FY25, indicating a largely flat headcount.
Compared to Q1FY25, when the company had 315,332 employees, this marks a modest YoY increase of 8,456 employees.
