Young Workforce is Rapidly Declining For Top Tech Companies: Report
New Delhi: Age is catching up for two of India's leading IT companies – Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS) and Infosys Ltd – as they are witnessing a sharp decline in their young workforce, Mint reported. The shrinking number of employees under 30, as stated in the companies annual reports, have raised concerns over the sustainability of the traditional employee pyramid model. According to the report, at the end of FY25, just 47.7% of TCS employees in India were below 30, down from 59% in FY22, implying that the company had 44,542 fewer young employees than it had three years ago. Meanwhile, at Infosys, only 52% of its 323,578 employees were equal to or under 30 years of age at the end of FY25, down from 60% in FY22 – signalling a net drop of about 17,609 younger employees. According to the daily, one of the reasons could be that automation is eliminating a significant chunk of entry-level jobs, signalling broader shifts in the IT services market. With automation tools on offer, the need for younger employees who typically handled customer support roles has reduced. As a result, young graduates are more drawn to startups, software product makers, or tech centres of global firms like Google and Microsoft. These also allow them better pay, faster growth and more creative work, according to some analysts. Another reason is that the traditional pyramid model may now be dated causing companies to see their margins erode. According to the report, TCS's revenue in FY25 rose only 3.78% to USD 30.18 billion – slowest in four years – while Infosys's revenue growth was also sluggish at 3.85%, touching USD 19.28 billion. Economic uncertainty One of the other major reasons why the growth has noticeably slowed down now is because global clients are cutting back on tech spending due to economic uncertainty. A Mumbai-based analyst told Mint that slow hiring was a result of the sluggish demand for IT services. 'IT services providers hire junior employees, most of whom fall under 30, when there is high demand for tech services. This was the case in FY22 when plenty of freshers were added. Now, because growth has been a little sluggish, hiring has been low, and which is why we see fewer young people.' In FY22, TCS and Infosys had added over 157,000 employees combined whereas in FY25, that number dropped to 12,771. According to the report, this also shows up in campus placement data of engineering colleges as they report lesser offers from the top IT service companies. Final-year students who would typically receive early offers from these firms are now seeking opportunities at software product firms, fintech startups, or hunting for overseas universities instead. Bigger issue abroad The issue of ageing workforce becomes more pressing in key markets abroad as the firms are losing their appeal among young job seekers. In North America, which contributes over half of TCS's revenue, more than 20% of its workforce is over 50 years old, the daily stated. In Europe, nearly 28% of its employees are above 50. On the other hand, Infosys received 4.46 million job applications in FY25—a 24% drop from FY22.

But unfortunately, that's sort of where we've ended up. And our industry globally has never made a profit margin in excess of 5 per cent," she noting that all participants in the value chain make more money than the airlines, she mentioned about the oligopolistic pricing power among the aircraft manufacturers and the outsized market power of oil companies."... then downstream, you know, notably here in India, maybe a very price competitive environment... our customers choose their airlines primarily on price. So the airlines are left completely squeezed between these two with very few ways out," she Thomsen said that if the Indian government tries to do everything to create a less skewed value chain, and that becomes possible, then that would surely be an example to follow for every other 2025, IATA has projected airlines to report a net profit of USD 36 billion and a profit margin of 3.7 per cent.

Why media careers are booming and how to choose the right institute to get there
From immersive storytelling on OTT platforms to AI-enhanced newsrooms, the media landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. With every scroll and click reshaping how stories are told and consumed, demand for skilled, adaptable professionals is surging. The stakes are higher, and so are the expectations from both audiences and employers. For students aspiring to make a mark in journalism, advertising, digital content, public relations, or media management, this evolution presents both opportunities and challenges. Especially when it comes to the first big decision- choosing the right institute to prepare them for the world ahead. What defines a future-ready media institute? 1. Curriculum that mirrors industry shifts Modern media roles demand more than just textbook knowledge. Institutes must offer courses that reflect industry realities, such as data-led journalism, influencer marketing, content strategy, podcasting, and immersive video production. Flexibility to learn new tools and respond to fast-evolving trends should be built into the curriculum. 2. Strong placement track record One of the most critical metrics for students and parents alike, placement performance reflects how well-connected an institute is to the industry. Look for programmes that have long-standing relationships with top media companies and offer internship pipelines, mentorship, and alumni support. 3. Infrastructure that simulates real-world conditions Gone are the days when classroom learning was enough. Today, high-end production studios, digital editing suites, radio and TV labs, and access to software like Adobe Creative Suite or AI-based content tools are essential for hands-on learning and creative experimentation. 4. Real-world exposure and flagship initiatives Participation in industry-led projects, film festivals, and panel discussions helps bridge the gap between theory and practice. Institutes that facilitate such exposure prepare students to confidently transition from campus to career. Why AIMC stands out among Delhi's media colleges Institutes like Apeejay Institute of Mass Communication (AIMC) , which are consistently ranked among Delhi's top private media colleges, have begun integrating new-age modules into their mainstream coursework, offering students a head start in future-facing roles. According to recent HANSA and MDRA surveys*, AIMC has been ranked the No.1 private media institute in Delhi for five consecutive years, a validation of both its curriculum strength and career outcomes. Its programmes in journalism, PR, advertising, digital content, and TV/radio production are designed with real-world applicability in mind. The faculty comprises industry experts and media practitioners. Students gain access to high-definition (HD) production studios, Mac-based editing setups, drone video tools, and the full Adobe Creative Suite, equipping them with the resources to transform their ideas into compelling content. The institute also stands out for its flagship initiatives, including the We Care Film Festival on disability awareness, Media Chaupal interactive forums, and the Academic-Industry Orientation program. Perhaps most importantly, AIMC shares that it supports students with 100% placement assistance through its strong industry networks and alumni connections. Invest in the right launchpad The media world is full of promise, but also unpredictability. The right institute can provide aspiring professionals with the stability, support, and skills they need to not only survive but also thrive. Whether you're a student or a parent making a career decision, evaluating institutes based on curriculum, infrastructure, industry connections, and long-term relevance is the best place to begin.
