HCL Technologies added 6,450 employees on net during its second fiscal quarter [1]. Its total workforce expanded to 230,339 as of 30 September 2026, according to statutory filings submitted to the National Stock Exchange of India and BSE on 12 October [1].
The intake reverses previous quarterly contractions, rising 2.9% sequentially from 223,889 employees at the end of June 2026 [1]. Trailing twelve-month attrition in IT services stood at 12.8%, moderating from 13.1% in the year-ago period [1].
Consolidated revenue for the quarter reached ₹35,620 crore ($4.26 billion), up 11.5% year-on-year [1]. Advanced artificial intelligence revenue rose 78.0% year-on-year in constant currency to $219 million [1]. New deal bookings totaled $3.258 billion during the period [1].
What it measures
The figures count all direct full-time personnel on corporate payroll across HCL Technologies globally as of 30 September 2026 [1].
What it does not tell you
The filing does not separate net headcount additions across specific technical disciplines, such as artificial intelligence engineering versus legacy infrastructure maintenance [1]. Nor does it break down the geographic split between offshore engineering centres in India and client-site delivery teams across North America and Europe [1].
