Infosys, the country’s largest IT company, has made its five crore employees rich. The company has announced that it will give the company’s share to its employees. However, it will be only 1.15 percent of the company’s total capitalization. Infosys has been continuously giving shares to its employees since 1995. Stock ownership programs are distributed to employees who work well. However, employees can redeem it after seven years.

Employees will get Rs 3700 crore profit

Infosys has said that with this move, currently 5 crore employees will be benefited. However, for this, the company will do this by taking shareholders approval in the Annual General Meeting. Infosys CEO Salil Parekh said that the employee is the biggest asset for the company. By giving stock options, the company wants to keep staff with them for a long time. This will also benefit the company.
