Amid cautious hiring sentiment in the broader IT industry, Capgemini India has announced plans to recruit between 40,000 and 45,000 employees during 2025. Of this, approximately 35–40% will be lateral hires, aimed at bolstering the company’s capabilities with experienced professionals in key business domains.
Capgemini, which currently employs around 1.75 lakh people in India, is witnessing increased demand from global clients seeking cost-effective and scalable digital solutions. This trend is expected to drive revenue growth in the upcoming quarters, with India continuing to serve as a strategic delivery hub for the company’s global operations.
To fuel its hiring momentum, Capgemini has partnered with over 50 academic institutions across India. The recruitment process is already underway, with an emphasis on equipping new hires with AI-centric skills. Training programs are being tailored to ensure that incoming talent is prepared to contribute to projects involving cutting-edge AI technologies from day one.
In a significant strategic move, Capgemini is also in the process of acquiring WNS Global Services, a deal that could become one of the largest in terms of workforce addition. Pending regulatory approvals, the acquisition is expected to close within six months.
The integration of WNS’s agentic AI capabilities with Capgemini’s strengths in analytics and consulting is anticipated to boost the company’s position in intelligent operations and business process services. The deal is projected to generate revenue synergies of $100–$140 million by 2027. Consistent with its previous acquisitions, Capgemini expects limited redundancies, ensuring a smooth transition and minimal disruption for employees.
This hiring and acquisition strategy underscores Capgemini’s commitment to strengthening its workforce, embracing AI-led transformation, and expanding its leadership in digital and business services.
