Asked about surveillance on the 69,432 Infosys employees, T V Mohandas Pai, chairman of the company's business process outsourcing arm said the company does background checks on lateral hiring, while it ensures that it recruits talent from best colleges.

"We take all measures we feel necessary to make sure that we protect the enterprise," Pai said.
