Cognizant Salary Hike 2025: A company spokesperson says consistent top performers in India will see pay hikes in the high single digits.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Cognizant Salary Hike 2025:<\/strong> IT services company Cognizant on Thursday announced that about 80 per cent of its eligible employees will receive a salary increase, effective November 1, 2025. During its second-quarter earnings, the company had indicated plans to award merit-based pay rises to the vast majority of staff in the second half of 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese increases will be delivered up to, and including, the Senior Associate levels. The amount of these increases will vary depending on individual performance rating and country,” a Cognizant spokesperson said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Consistent top performers in India will see pay hikes in the high single digits, the spokesperson added, noting that the highest performers will receive the most significant hikes.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the company awarded most of its associates their highest bonuses in three years.<\/p>\n

TCS Salary Hike 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, India\u2019s largest IT services firm Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) also announced a wage revision for around 80 per cent of its workforce, largely covering mid- to junior-level employees. The move came even as the company is preparing to lay off about 12,000 staff, or 2% of its workforce, over the course of this year.<\/p>\n

The TCS pay hikes, effective from September 1, 2025, were communicated to employees via an internal email on Wednesday, 6th August, by Chief Human Resources Officer Milind Lakkad and CHRO Designate K Sudeep.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased to announce a compensation revision for all eligible associates in grades up to C3A and equivalent, covering 80 per cent of our workforce. This will be effective 1st September 2025,” according to the email. It added, \u201cWe would like to thank each one of you for your dedication and hard work, as we build the future of TCS together.”<\/p>\n

India\u2019s leading IT services players, including TCS, posted subdued single-digit revenue growth in the first quarter of FY26, as economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions led to a slowdown in global tech spending and client decision-making.<\/p>\n

The IT sector has been facing global headwinds due to the ongoing trade war and geopolitical conflicts.<\/p>\n
