Infosys Postpones Annual Salary Increases: Known for his strong views on workplace culture, Infosys co-founder N. narayana murthy recently said that workers need to put in up to 70 hours each week to propel India's growth. In contrast to its custom of implementing pay increases at the start of the year, Infosys has chosen to delay raising staff salaries until the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2024–2025.
 
Why Did Infosys Postpone Pay Increases?
 
The delay reflects growing difficulties in the IT industry in the face of uncertain global economic conditions. indian IT firms are taking cost-cutting initiatives because they are concerned that customers would spend less on non-essential services. The corporation last boosted salaries in november 2023, which is notable, but worries about profitability caused the delay.
