Infosys has seen attrition rate of 19.5 percent during the quarter ended June 20, the highest-ever for the IT major. In fact, attrition has been a big problem for the whole of Indian IT sector. Yesterday, Cognizant announced salary increments at the higher end of the industry to send a strong message to employees that they can have "terrific careers and great growth paths", said president Gordon J Coburn.

The IT solutions provider will give double-digit salary hikes to its offshore employees in a bid to battle rising attrition. Most of Cognizant's 1.87 lakh employees are based in India.

Cognizant's wage hike matches its bigger rival TCS, which announced a wage hike of 10 per cent for employees in India and 2-4 per cent for staff in developed markets.
