Indian IT services company Infosys expects no material impact on operations after the US decision to suspend new and pending applications under the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) programme.
“We do not anticipate yesterday’s announcement of such suspension to have a material impact on the organisation…Infosys has invested in building a strong local workforce and technology and innovation hubs in the United States. Wipro filed 257 applications in 2024 and 523 in 2025. Of the 257 applications filed in 2024, 169 were denied, and 88 were withdrawn by the company. Its US workforce strategy is anchored in hiring local talent, supported by a robust campus recruitment model, it said, adding that the company has built a significant local workforce across 31 offices and delivery centres.
In a regulatory filing to stock exchanges, the Bengaluru-headquartered firm said it welcomes the opportunity to work with the US Department of Labor and related government agencies to address any queries. The company remains committed to its employees, clients, and communities across the United States and to complying with all applicable laws and regulations,” Infosys said.
