Infosys is reportedly preparing to move between a quarter and one-third of its employees into specialist roles focused on artificial intelligence, advanced engineering and domain expertise. The plan was discussed during the company’s annual Americas confluence in Washington, DC, according to a report by The Economic Times. The shift reflects growing demand for specialised talent as clients move beyond AI experimentation to large-scale implementation. Infosys has already introduced internal categories such as AI builders and AI masters. As of June 2025 more than 275,000 employees had been trained in AI and generative AI. The company continues to hire professionals with proven generative AI skills and upskill existing engineers. The reported specialist-role plan builds on CEO Salil Parekh’s earlier statement that Infosys aims to create a pool of 6,000 frontier engineers over the next few years. Infosys has not publicly confirmed the workforce transition.
