Top Indian IT companies delaying the onboarding of freshers hired in FY23 may give rise to a bigger problem, worsening the employment outlook for the tech talent completing their college degrees this year, industry experts warn.

What has come as a big shock and surprise has been the recent news of Wipro asking candidates who are yet to be onboarded to take a pay cut as projects in their category are not available immediately. This is perhaps happening for the first time ever in the industry.
