Nurturing talent, enabling growth

FY26 was a year of meaningful progress across our people agenda, marked by improved retention, deeper employee engagement, continued investment in Fractalite’s growth and well-being, and strong external recognition.

We believe our people are the foundation of our success.

Their talent, passion, and commitment enable us to innovate, create value for clients, and deliver sustainable growth.

We strive to align Fractalites’ aspirations with our business needs by creating meaningful opportunities, continuous learning, and a supportive work environment that enables them to thrive and achieve their full potential.

Employee engagement and culture

FY26 saw some of our most ambitious employee engagement initiatives come to life.

To mark our 25th anniversary, the Fractal Family Day - a multi-city, multi-country celebration of our people and culture. The series spanned 12 events across 5 countries, welcoming over 7,000 attendees and reinforcing our identity as a truly global organization with a close-knit community at its core.

Our structured internal recognition program, Builders of Fractal, continued to see strong participation, with more than 4,700 Fractalites taking part. The program recognizes behaviors from the average Fractalite that go beyond day-to-day expectations in building a Fractal for all.

We also continued to foster a culture of openness, giving employees direct access to senior leaders and avenues to share feedback, raise concerns, and drive alignment. Through our structured engagement programs and weekly town halls, department connects, and skip-level conversations, we ensure that every Fractalite, regardless of their position within the company has access to a mechanism to have their concerns heard and redressed.

Employee wealth creation

In Q2 FY26, we completed a significant ESOP allotment covering 3,491 employees who joined Fractal between February 2022 and June 2025. The allotment reflects our commitment to making Fractalites partners in Fractal’s success - ensuring that the value we create as an organization is shared equitably with the people who build it.

Improved retention

15.2%

Annualized voluntary attrition in FY26, down from 16.3% in FY25

Our people-centric culture, focus on employee experience, and continued investment in talent development contributed to strong retention outcomes. This reflects that a high-trust, high-growth environment is a sustainable foundation for retention.

Aspiring to build Fractal for All where everyone belongs, our Fractal People Groups (FPG) engage and support diverse groups, and provide a platform for these individuals to connect, share experiences, and find support within Fractal.

These employee resource groups are voluntary, Fractalite-led that come together to build more inclusive organization for the employee group they represent and serve. It can be constituted by employees who share the same characteristic or can be inclusive of allies.

During the year, we enabled FPGs focused on advancing the cause for Women, Parents and members of the LGBTQ+ communities.
