The Big Four Include Tata Consultancy Services Ltd, Infosys Ltd, HCl Technologies Ltd and Wipro Ltd Which Earn Above $ 10 Billion Annually, While the Mid-Cap It Firms Are Tech Mahindra Ltd Persistent Systems LTD, HEXAWARE Technologies LTD, L&T Technology Services LTD, Sonata Software LTD and FirstSource Solutions LTD that earn $ 1-6.3 billion.
IT companies hired more in the middle of CAP when they grew faster, at least one analyst said.

“One simple reason for medium capitals last year adds more net number of employees compared to Big Four that they are growing faster than larger peers,” said Abhiske Kumar, JM financial research analyst.
Medium cap other than Tech Mahindra recorded revenue growth of 4.43-31.2% last fiscal, while the large three including TCS, infosys and HCLTEch increased by 3.78-4.3%. Wipro and Tech Mahindra reported the second straight year of decline in income.
Sure, the first four companies remain Indian, they are the largest employers with about 1.39 million people on their roles, while smaller companies employ 420 599, or a little more than a third of what their larger peers have.
The growth and hiring of momentum in IT companies in the middle of capitalization is also due to the fact that smaller companies win Big Four shops, the second expert said.
“Sellers of level-1 in previous cycles were net recipients of dealers’ consolidation, although this performance may be difficult to replicate in the current cycle,” said Kotak’s institutional shares analysts, Kawaljeet Saluja, Sathishumar S. and Vamshi Krishna. Sellers’ consolidation offers apply to a strategy where clients reduce the number of IT suppliers they work with.
The TCS based in Mumbai has added 6,433 people for the last fiscal, which is the highest among the large capital, while Coforge based in Noida added 8,771 employees, most of the 15 largest IT services. Even its year -round income growth of 31.2% was the highest among the IT outsourcery. Certainly, Coforge performed its biggest acquisition, acquisition of Cignniti, Hyderabad Engineering Services Company in the last fiscal year.

“In addition to reduced shop sizes, several factors play for the benefit of medium levels-(1) Many challenges are smoother with excellent managerial teams, (2) competencies are much improved and (3) some of the levels of 1 slipped in execution,” said Kotak analysts.
The increase in the number of employees comes on the back of a series of large wins for the company of medium capitalization. Ltimindtree on Monday pushed its biggest agreement, a $ 450 million contract, which lasted seven years with ADM, Chicago based in food processing. This comes less than three months after Coforge packed his biggest contract, a 13 -year -old agreement worth $ 1.56 billion at Saber, Texas based in Texas in March.
Big Four, on the other hand, tried to win large contracts, with the exception of Wipro, which ranked two $ 500 million stores in a range of 12 months.
“Central capital companies clearly use market share from larger companies,” said Peter Bendor-Samuel, founder of Everest Group.
“At the moment, the market is preferred by specialized companies that promise to provide more powerful time and determination. These (medium) companies are often focused on higher growing niches and have no problem segments of insufficiently powerful markets that pull the income of larger diversified companies,” Bendor-Samuel said.
The picture was different in FY24 when IT companies reduced the number of employees.

While large capitals reduced the number of employees by 63,662 employees, smaller peers decreased by 8,031. Seven out of the 11 largest IT services companies ended with fewer workers.
Certainly, in the last two years there has been an increase in IT club IT $ 1 billion. RP Sanjiv Goenka FirstSource was the latest participant after showing sales of $ 250 million for April-March 2025, giving him a speed of $ 1 billion. Hexaware and persistent systems were two other companies that entered the club.
