It looks like Luthra is pulling out all the stops and building up size. 23 recruits in these market conditions clearly goes to show their bullish intent! More power to them.

any news about how aggressively the other firms such as amss, azb, trilegal are going about recruitment this year, both in rspect of freshers as well as laterals?

Big recruitment numbers for laterals and freshers doesn't automatically mean that the firm is looking to beef up - pretty good chance that a lot of people have left or are in their notice period - which may also explain this 'maintenance' / as opposed to growth/ measure...
