Infosys share buyback begins: Should you participate in Rs 18,000 crore offer at 17% premium?

Infosys' Rs 18,000 crore share buyback, offering a 17% premium, opened today, closing November 26. Experts see it as a psychological floor for long-term investors and a profit-booking opportunity, signaling management confidence amid uncertain IT demand. While providing modest financial metric boosts, its impact is incremental, not transformative.
