Infosys, headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, announced on July 18 that it will award an average performance bonus of 80% to employees for Q1 FY26 after reporting strong earnings. The IT services giant outperformed peers with 3.3% sequential revenue growth, driven by robust deal wins and raised guidance.
Infosys Limited, the country’s second-largest IT services company, announced on July 18 that a majority of its employees will receive an average performance bonus of 80% for the first quarter of FY26. The payout, higher than last quarter, will range between 75% and 89% depending on employee performance ratings.
The bonus announcement follows Infosys’ strong financial results in the June quarter, where the company reported consolidated revenue of USD 5.07 billion (₹42,279 crore), a 3.3% sequential increase. Despite a 1.6% quarter-on-quarter decline in net profit to USD 831 million (₹6,921 crore), the results beat Street estimates. The company also raised the lower end of its FY26 revenue growth guidance, signaling optimism backed by strong deal momentum.

Infosys stood out as the only major Indian IT services firm to post revenue growth in constant currency terms during the quarter. In contrast, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), HCLTech, and Wipro reported declines in revenue growth and margins, with TCS registering its first revenue drop in over four years.
According to Infosys CFO Jayesh Sanghrajka, steady execution of large short-term deals and a strong deal pipeline have helped the company navigate a challenging global macroeconomic environment. “That is the reason why we have increased the lower end of revenue growth guidance from 0% to 1%,” he noted.
Employees were informed through internal communication that individual bonus letters will be uploaded to their e-dockets. This marks Infosys’ fourth consecutive quarter of headcount growth, highlighting resilience in workforce management alongside stable margins.
The company’s decision to award higher performance bonuses underscores its relative strength in India’s IT sector, reinforcing its position as a leader in technology services and digital transformation solutions.
