New CEO Mohit Joshi (formerly Infosys President) initiated a top-to-bottom restructuring of Tech Mahindra, eliminating redundant management layers and automating delivery functions. The telecom vertical — Tech Mahindra's largest — is under pressure as Nokia and Ericsson (their key clients) cut their own headcount.
Financial Context
Tech Mahindra revenue declined 2.1% in FY2026 to ₹52,280 crore — the only major Indian IT firm to post negative growth. Operating margin improved from 8.9% to 11.2% due to headcount reduction. The company is targeting 15% operating margin by FY2028.
Industry Comparison
Tech Mahindra's revenue decline stands out against peers: TCS grew 4%, Infosys 5%, Wipro flat, HCL 5%. The company's heavy telecom client concentration (40% of revenue) is its key vulnerability as telcos automate and cut their own vendor spending.
Rehiring Outlook
Tech Mahindra is hiring for its AI/GenAI practice (recently won a $500M AI deal from a US telecom), cloud engineering, and cybersecurity. The restructuring will result in a leaner company of ~120,000 vs 145,000 pre-cut.
If You Were Affected — What To Do Now
Tech Mahindra alumni in telecom IT are in demand at Nokia Software, Ericsson, and Amdocs. Engineers with 5G network management experience should target private wireless network startups. Middle managers should consider transitioning to SME/MSME digital transformation consulting — a growing segment. Mahindra Group's other companies (Mahindra Finance, Mahindra Logistics) are hiring for tech roles.
