Infosys did not respond to an email seeking comment at the time of going to press.
The Q2 bonus of 85% marks an improvement over the 80% average payout in the previous quarter and a significant increase from the 60% bonus issued in Q4FY24.
In an email to employees, Infosys attributed the payout to its robust Q2 performance, emphasising its focus on cloud and generative AI (GenAI) services. “In Q2, we delivered a strong performance with broad growth, reinforcing our market leadership. This success is a testament to your unwavering dedication, our strategic focus on margin performance and our industry-leading expertise in Cloud and GenAI,” the email read.
The company reported a 2.2% sequential increase in net profit for Q2FY25 to 6,506 crore, while revenue grew by 4.2% sequentially to 40,986 crore.
Infosys also revised its FY25 revenue growth guidance upwards to 3.75-4.5%, compared to the earlier range of 3-4%.
This development comes days after sector leader Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) slashed variable pay for senior employees in the September quarter due to demand uncertainties.
