Earlier it was reported that Accenture has delayed the onboarding of fresh hires to 2023. Due to this, freshers were worried about their career gaps.

Many fresh graduates got offer letters from Accenture in April last week. The company has approved all the documents and has done the hiring formalities. However, the freshers are not onboarded by the tech firm.

The company currently operates from its centers and offices in Pune, Mumbai, Kolkata, Indore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, the National Capital Region (NCR), and Jaipur, among others.

Accenture has 721,000 people who deliver on the promise of technology and human ingenuity every day, serving clients in more than 120 countries.
