Company's Chief Financial Nilanjan Roy said the company has a huge pipeline of freshers who go through Infosys' training program in Mysore. He is on the bench now. We are training them, reskilling them. In fact it will help us in development.

He said that last year we hired and trained a large number of freshers. Over time they will be part of the company's production. He said that we are not worried about the usefulness of freshers. With time these freshers will prove useful to us. Today, before the budget, all sections of the society are curious as to what new announcements the government will make for them this time. Meanwhile some NGOs have demanded concession to the elderly people in the budget.
