13,000 associates have rejoined Cognizant: CEO

Nasdaq-listed information-technology services firm Cognizant has said close to 13,000 associates have returned to the company as it reverts to growth and stability, according to Ravi Kumar S, chief executive officer (CEO).

"The buzz around us is high... you can also see the LinkedIn traffic that is talking about the company. The mojo of the company is back. They have worked at Cognizant earlier and now want to come back. We are also going to campuses, starting next year, in a big way," he said.

He was talking in a media briefing after the Q3 results. Cognizant follows a January-December financial reporting period.

The company added 3,800 employees in the third quarter of FY24. The firm's headcount addition during the quarter was similar to that of peers, who announced hiring going up.
