Infosys Cuts Fresher Hiring Amid Automation Growth
Infosys is a big company that helps other companies with technology.
They planned to hire 20,000 new people this year.
But because of automation, which means computers doing more work, they might not need as many new hires.
They've already hired more than 12,000 people in the first half of the year.
Their finance boss, Jayesh Sanghrajka, talked about this during a meeting on 16 October.
Automation is making some jobs easier for computers to do, so they might not need as many new employees.
