New Delhi, Dec 10 (NationPress) The Indian IT sector is expected to witness a 30-35% increase in demand for highly-specialized tech positions by 2025, along with a rise in expenditures on upskilling in the upcoming years, according to a recent report.
Campus recruitment continues to be a primary focus for larger firms that are aggressively hiring for the latter half of the fiscal year 2024-25, as per the report by NLB Services, a provider of global technology and digital talent solutions.
Hiring of IT freshers in 2025 is anticipated to grow by 15-20%, with notable demand for roles in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data analytics, Python, cloud technologies, and cybersecurity.
Industries such as Global Capability Centres (GCCs), manufacturing, BFSI, healthcare, and retail are also expected to increase their intake of IT freshers by 30-35% next year.
“Following the global economic downturn of 2021-22, clients have limited their discretionary spending due to on-demand hiring trends and global economic challenges; this has affected the project pipeline, but stabilization is expected in 2025, bringing hope for freshers,” the report stated.
The year 2024 has been transformative for the Indian IT sector, reflecting the impact of both domestic and international economic shifts, technology advancements, and workforce changes.
The industry regained momentum in the latter half of this year and is preparing for a promising 2025 across various dimensions.
“In the coming years, hiring of freshers in the Indian IT sector is set for remarkable growth, with an expected 15-20% increase in job opportunities across multiple sectors,” the report indicated.
This surge in demand is not confined to hiring alone but also emphasizes a strategic focus on tech upskilling, with companies investing significantly in training programs to prepare their workforce with the skills needed for the evolving tech landscape.
