Author: Vantage Circle April 21, 2026 Duration: 26:25

Attrition in the tech industry has almost become a constant conversation. Companies are hiring aggressively, yet they're also losing talent just as quickly. And while market demand is definitely one part of the story, many HR leaders are beginning to realize that the real reasons behind attrition might be much deeper. 

To unpack this, we're really excited to welcome Dr. Lakshman Kumar Kodupaka, Global Talent Acquisition Leader for Digital Engineering Services at Sutherland. With his experience working closely with tech talent and global teams, he brings a valuable perspective on what might actually be driving attrition today.
