Cognizant has reported 41.8% increase in June quarter net income at $512 million (around ₹3,801.7 crore), and said it expects to hire about one lakh people this year as the IT major looks to arrest high attrition rates in the company.

Cognizant's revenue rose 14.6 per cent (12 per cent in constant currency) at $4.6 billion in the quarter under review, from $4 billion in the year-ago period.
