 the hands of the learners across the country. This amplified the learning experience of students who also undergo assessments to get the coveted Infosys Certification. We also have been globally recognized for our Innovation in recruitment for our HackWithInfy, an Online Coding contest, which also helps us attract the best of coders into our organization.
We also recruit students from campuses outside India, including but not limited to the United States, UK, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Mauritius and China. We rely on a rigorous selection process involving evaluation of mathematical and logical aptitude, coding ability and in-depth interviews, to identify the best applicants. This selection process is continually assessed and refined based upon multiple factors including performance tracking of past recruits. We have continued to conduct interviews virtually across the globe and the team also enhanced the in-house applicant tracking system which is currently being used for hiring in India and China.

During fiscal 2025, we received 4,457,748 employment applications, interviewed 430,080 applicants and extended offers of employment to 83,207 applicants. These statistics do not include our subsidiaries.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Our intellectual property rights are critical to our business. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and design laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property. As of March 31, 2025, we have 823 pending or registered patents in India, the EU, the United States and other key jurisdictions. Infosys Limited and its subsidiaries also have over 870 trademarks pending or registered across classes identified for various goods and services across 52 countries. We require

employees, independent contractors and whenever possible, vendors to enter into confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of their relationships with us. These agreements generally provide that any confidential or proprietary information developed by us or on our behalf be kept confidential. These agreements also provide that any confidential or proprietary information disclosed to third parties in the course of our business be kept confidential by such third parties. However, our clients usually own the intellectual property in the software we develop for them.

We regard our trade name, trademarks, service marks and domain names as important to our success. We rely on the law to protect our proprietary rights to them, and we have taken steps to enhance our rights by filing trademark applications where appropriate. We have obtained registration of our key brand ‘INFOSYS’ as a trademark in both India and in the United States. We also aggressively protect these names and marks from infringement by others.
