New Delhi: Confirming the high attrition in the IT industry, country's largest software exporter TCS has said 31,500 employees left the organization in 2010-11 while the company hired 69,685 new employees in India and overseas. The net additions during the year stood to 38,185 people, TCS said in its Annual Report 2010-11. TCS's headcount stood at 1,60,429 as on April 1, 2010, which increased to 1,98,614 as on March 31 this year.

During the year, 26,899 people hired from India quit, taking the net addition to 35,193 in India. With the return in demand for IT services, attrition has become the major concern for IT firms.
