fast technology reported on august 29 that according to media reports,indian it giant infosys was recently exposed for serious exploitation, resulting in more than 2,000 graduates being unable to officially join the company for a long time.

after repeatedly undergoing unpaid "on-the-job training", these graduates are still faced with an uncertain career and feel extremely frustrated and confused.

according to reports, in the offer notifications issued between 2022 and 2023, infosys promised to provide system engineer and digital expert engineer positions to fresh graduates, but has been delaying the onboarding process.

the new employees in information technology (nites), an advocacy group for indian it workers, has filed a complaint with the indian minister of labour and employment, asking the government to intervene in the matter.

in the letter, nites chairman harpreet singh saluja pointed out that after completing the unpaid training, these graduates not only did not receive a definite entry date, but were also told that they needed to re-undergo offline training and examinations. if the new employees refused to participate, they would lose the opportunity to join the company.

infosys's move sparked heated discussions on social media platforms. a netizen who claimed to be an infosys employee said: "we work 14 hours a day, so there is no work left for these newcomers."

although infosys ceo salil parekh announced that these graduates will be officially employed soon, he did not provide a specific timeline or explain why the employment and training were delayed.

infosys chief financial officer jayesh sanghrajka said last month that the company plans to hire 15,000 to 20,000 fresh graduates this year, but it is not clear whether that includes the 2,000 new employees affected.
