Bengaluru, India – June 11, 2026: Infosys (NSE, BSE, NYSE: INFY), a global leader in AI-first business consulting and technology services, today announced that it has successfully completed and contributed to the CMMI AI Maturity (AIM) Framework and Pilot Assessment, conducted by CMMI^® Institute, a global leader in helping organizations reduce risk, boost performance and build capability. Through this collaboration, Infosys assisted with the advancement of the CMMI AIM framework – contributing deep enterprise-scale perspectives on AI governance, responsible deployment, and outcome-driven practices that helped define how AI maturity is assessed and operationalized across global organizations. Infosys is among the first select group of organizations recognized globally to complete the pilot assessment, demonstrating a structured and responsible approach to scaling artificial intelligence across enterprise-grade software engineering, agentic capabilities, and service delivery.

The CMMI AIM framework enables organizations to assess, benchmark, and improve how AI is implemented across real-world enterprise and regulatory environments, linking AI practices and governance to measurable, scalable outcomes. As an early pilot participant, Infosys validated and identified key elements of the framework for further refinement by applying it across large‑scale delivery environments – ensuring the model reflects the realities of enterprise adoption rather than isolated experimentation. Infosys’ participation in the pilot builds on its broader investments in AI-first software engineering, leveraging its purpose-built, composable and open agentic services suite Infosys Topaz Fabric, to operationalize AI across internal processes and client engagements, unlocking AI value at scale.

This recognition by the CMMI Institute is a strong testament to Infosys’ sustained multi‑year focus on building a mature, scalable, and enterprise‑grade AI proposition through disciplined execution, governance, and continuous improvement.

As part of the pilot, Infosys worked closely with the CMMI Institute and KPMG to validate how AI maturity can be assessed consistently across large, complex organizations. The pilot assessment covered AI-augmented software development, maintenance, testing, and support initiatives across Infosys’ service lines and global delivery hubs. The evaluation assessed how AI is embedded across the software engineering lifecycle, focusing on productivity, quality, governance, and responsible AI practices. Infosys provided practical implementation insights as part of the CMMI AIM pilot, strengthening an actionable, enterprise‑ready approach to AI maturity that organizations can apply globally. This engagement helped shape key dimensions of the emerging CMMI AIM Model, including performance alignment to business outcomes, consistency of AI practices, risk and compliance management, and accountability in AI-driven decision-making – establishing a benchmark that enterprises globally can adopt.

Dinesh Rao, Executive Vice President and Chief Delivery Officer, Infosys, said, “The CMMI AIM pilot marks a significant step in our journey to unlock the true value of AI. As one of the initial organizations to pilot the CMMI AIM framework and contribute to the content and assessment method, we are defining what responsible, enterprise-grade AI adoption looks like in practice. Powered by Infosys Topaz, our sustained investments in AI maturity – across governance, productivity, and outcomes – give our clients a tested, structured path to realize AI value at scale. This milestone reinforces our role as architects of enterprise AI and governance standards the industry will follow.”

Ron Lear, Vice President, CMMI Global Strategies, CMMI Institute, said, “As AI becomes integral to software engineering, and virtually all other disciplines, enterprise leaders need to focus on AI governance, assurance, and predictability in performance. Infosys brought deep, practical perspectives to the CMMI AIM pilot, reflecting the realities of deploying AI at scale in a global enterprise. Their participation and successful completion of the pilot assessment offered valuable insights and confirmed the usefulness of the CMMI AIM best practices that will help organizations worldwide adopt AI in a more structured, responsible, mature, and outcome-focused manner.”

Dr. Sankaran Venkataramani, Partner – Corporate Services: Business Consulting, KPMG, said, “The CMMI AIM pilot represents an important step in defining how AI maturity can be assessed and operationalized at enterprise scale. Infosys’ successful completion of the CMMI AIM pilot reflects how AI can be embedded into engineering and service delivery with the controls and oversight required to operate at scale. It reflects a mature approach to balancing productivity gains with quality, risk management, and accountability.”

●        GenZ is driving job-switching trends, with 38% having switched jobs in the last six months.

●        The IT, ITeS, & GCC sector emerges as the most desirable industry to work in India.

●        AI usage soars, with 3 in 5 employees using it regularly at work; optimism rises despite job displacement concerns.

●        9 in 10 employees want reskilling support; it has emerged as a critical priority not only for job seekers but also for those looking to continue in their current jobs. 

Bengaluru, India, 22nd July 2025: Tata Group has emerged as India’s most attractive employer brand, reveals the findings of Randstad Employer Brand Research (REBR) 2025 – the most comprehensive, independent, and in-depth employer brand research in the world conducted annually.

Tata Group scored very high on financial health, career progression opportunities, and reputation – the top 3 Employee Value Proposition (EVP) drivers for the organization as per the survey that helped the brand earn the winning spot. Google India climbed the rankings this year to emerge as the runner-up, followed by Infosys, which occupied the third spot. Another key highlight from the findings of this year’s report is the fact that State Bank of India has entered the list of top 10 employer brands, as the only Indian multinational public sector bank.

Now in its 15th edition in India, and 25th edition globally, the REBR report provides a detailed lens into the evolving priorities of the talent community. Based on insights from over 170,000 respondents across 34 markets, including 3,500+ in India, the study reveals that today’s talent expects far more than just a paycheque. They are looking for inclusive, future-focused workplaces that support both personal and professional growth.

Notably, talent in India rate their current organizations highly on factors like reputation, financial health, and equity. However, when asked about their perception of an ideal employer, work-life balance and attractive salary & benefits have emerged as potential gaps that Indian employers still need to address.

Top 10 most attractive employer brands in India for 2025:

This year, the top 10 most attractive employer brands represent diverse industries, reinforcing that talent opportunities today span across sectors. This underscores the strong competition among employers, who are not just contending with peers within their own sector, but also vying with companies across industries to attract top talent.

1.       Tata Group

2.       Google India

3.       Infosys

4.       Samsung India

5.       JPMorganChase

6.       IBM

7.       Wipro

8.       Reliance Industries

9.       Dell Technologies Ltd

10.    State Bank of India

Presenting the REBR 2025 insights, Viswanath PS, MD & CEO, Randstad India, a talent company, said, ”The Randstad Employer Brand Research continues to be an essential guide for organizations navigating a rapidly evolving talent landscape. The 2025 findings reflect a clear shift- today’s workforce is no longer satisfied with conventional jobs; they’re seeking equity, purpose, meaningful growth, and work-life harmony.

This year’s data also reveals a steady rise in job-switching intent, especially among younger talent. It’s a wake-up call for employers to move beyond transactional perks and build organizational cultures rooted in trust, transparency, and shared purpose. With work-life balance once again the top EVP driver, and reskilling gaining priority across all talent age groups, it’s time for organizations to reimagine and realign their EVP strategies to stay relevant.

As we lean further into a skills-based economy, the competition for top talent will only grow fiercer. The organizations that prioritize inclusion, foster continuous learning, and align with what truly matters to talent will stand out. I believe the REBR 2025 report will serve as a strategic compass for every employer striving to become a true talent magnet.”

Key findings from the REBR 2025 report:

Job-switching intent continues its upward trend. 47% of Indian employees planned to switch jobs in the first half of 2025, with both Gen Z (51%) and Millennials (50%) displaying a strong intention to switch employers.

Engagement levels are strong, with 86% of Indian workers reporting high motivation, while only 5% reporting low engagement. However, 67% of disengaged employees still plan to switch jobs, underscoring the link between engagement and retention.

Gen Z & millennials prioritize equity and inclusion more than Gen X, who focus on work-life balance. Gen Z values training and development more than leadership strength of the organization. Millennials are the most satisfied generation, rating their employers higher on salary, equity, and work-life balance.

AI usage is rising rapidly, with 61% of Indian employees now using it regularly. Millennials are the most active users, with a 13% increase over the previous year. The expectation of AI’s impact remains high, with 38% of employees feeling that AI is impacting their work significantly.

Reskilling remains a major priority, especially for highly educated professionals. 9 in 10 workers place high value on employers that offer upskilling opportunities.

Nearly 49% of India’s workforce identifies as belonging to a minority group. Notably, younger generations report higher rates of minority identification – 55% of Gen Z and 50% of Millennials. Encouragingly, minority employees are more positive about fairness in reskilling opportunities, especially from senior leadership. However, many are significantly more likely to report facing obstacles in career progression opportunities.

Work-life balance continues to emerge as the universal top priority for talent across industries. However, differences in role expectations remain: talent involved in sectors like manufacturing, automobile, light industrial, supply chain & logistics, heavy industry, energy & infrastructure, and skilled trades, emphasize job security. However, talent involved in sectors like pharma, healthcare & lifesciences, finance/ITeS, global capability centres, business consulting, engineering, sales, trade & marketing, BFSI, wholesale, retail, design, and R&D, places greater importance on strong management and career growth.
