INFY'S HAPPY, AND GROWING, TRIBE: Infosys has over 25,634 employees today. Many turned up in T-shirts in the colour of the company -- light blue -- to celebrate.
They had every reason to. Apart from the company's milestone, Infosys made sure that its employees too were rewarded.
The company decided to give a one-time bonus of $1,000 to each employee along with a specially designed Titan watch, which shows world time and a T-shirt with a billion-dollar-mark logo.
Last year alone, Infosys added 11,900 employees, and the average age of an employee at Infosys is 26. Analysts say that they are confident that Infosys can manage its growing flock.
"The business model and the management are capable of handling these issues. Infosys has proven that it can handle large-scale employee training and retention issues," says an analyst with a Mumbai-based equity research firm.
