India's digital job scene to expand with rise in AI and data-driven roles
The second half of 2024 proved to be a turning point. Many companies resumed hiring after a slow start to the year, largely due to the rapid pace of digital transformation. With businesses shifting focus to automation, cloud solutions, and advanced tech tools, the need for skilled professionals is rising fast. Looking ahead to 2025, roles such as software developers, DevOps engineers, AI specialists, and cybersecurity experts are expected to be among the most sought-after. The tech industry is also witnessing increasing demand for data professionals such as analysts, engineers, and scientists, as companies rely more on insights and automation. What to expect from this rise in growth? The buzz around Generative AI (Gen-AI) is also playing a major part in this growth. As more companies explore the use of Gen-AI in their services, the need for specialised professionals in this space is going up. Positions that focus on algorithms, AI safety, and generative tools are seeing a rise in both demand and pay. This space alone is projected to create 1 million new jobs by 2028. Not only are these roles growing in number, but salaries in these areas are expected to increase by 25–30% compared to the previous year. Interestingly, the tech hiring boost isn't just limited to traditional IT companies. Sectors like banking, finance, and telecom are also on the lookout for digital experts. These industries are investing more in tech upgrades and turning to skilled professionals to support this shift. Another area making waves is India's gig economy in IT. Freelancers and short-term contract professionals are becoming key players. With more flexible work models in place, companies are tapping into this talent pool for project-based roles, especially in tier I and tier II cities. India's Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are also playing a big role in the job growth story. Between 2018-19 and 2023-24, GCCs created over 6 lakh jobs. By 2030, they are expected to employ between 2.5 to 2.8 million professionals, showing just how quickly this space is expanding. Meanwhile, India's tech gig economy is set to triple by 2030, potentially employing 24 million people. What's interesting is that this demand is expected to be evenly spread between tier I and tier II cities. First Published Date: 16 Jun, 21:57 IST

In his address, Kartik Ramakrishnan, KPMG partner - GCC initiative, set the tone of the evening by presenting the evolution and potential of GCCs and India's strategic advantage with its large talent pool, language proficiency and cost effectiveness. GCC powering India's growth A panel discussion on 'GCC powering India's growth' was moderated by Sreenivas Tirdhala. The panel saw the presence of Padma Bhushan Kris Gopalakrishnan, co-founder, Infosys and Shakthi Sagar, strategic adviser and eminent tech leader sharing their experiences and visions about India's growth. Kris Gopalakrishnan reflected on the importance of industries' ability to continuously evolve and adapt to the ecosystem and client's changing needs. He noted that the IT industry itself is inherently dynamic and constantly undergoing reinvention. 'With the advent and rapid advancement of AI, significant transformations are taking place, and GCC will need to continuously adapt,' he stated. Elaborating on India's potential, he added, 'India is the fastest growing country in terms of IT services. It is mainly because of the talent pool, our focus on STEM education and adaptability. India will continue to be the default location if we continue to innovate and create the right model to attract the companies'. Shakthi Sagar described GCCs as more than just operational hubs — he referred to them as GILT, meaning Global Innovation Leveraging Trendsetters. He emphasised the strength of India's talent pool, noting that it is predominantly young, which makes it highly trainable and adaptable. 'Indian professionals have a strong ability to learn while working and deliver results effectively,' he added. Strength of an ecosystem At the policy level, both leaders emphasised that India must actively promote the growth of GCCs and the broader IT sector. They stressed that skilling is a shared responsibility, one that must be taken up collectively by companies, individuals, and the government. They also addressed the persistent gap between academia and industry. To bridge this gap, they emphasised the need for strong partnerships and collaboration between academia and industry.

Dr. Vipul Singh began by emphasising the need to focus on fresh graduates and early-career professionals. 'There's a significant arbitrage created by money power and a changing ecosystem,' he said, highlighting the importance of adapting the workforce to the current needs of the industries. He stressed that success today depends on being able to deliver solutions end-to-end, adding, 'A GCC is truly successful only if it can take a product from concept to delivery'. Rajesh Balaraju outlined three core pillars for India's leadership in the IT space. 'First and foremost, it's about talent. Second is scalability, and third is our ability to lead global delivery,' he explained. Sandeep Patnaik responded to the common question as to why India is still such an attractive destination for global IT investments. 'India offers much more than just cost advantages; it brings innovation, agility and an evolving talent pool,' he stated. He added 'In India, 75 million square feet of office space was leased out last year and out of it 30% is contributed by GCCs'. Highlighting the advantages India holds globally, Chandra stated, 'Our talent is not only about learning new skills but also in bringing change. We are adaptable and have a great learning agility as a workforce'. Returning to the discussion on location-based advantages, Chandra highlighted the strategic appeal of Hyderabad. 'The attractiveness of Hyderabad helps us draw attention—both from talent and investors. A great ecosystem combined with great talent becomes a powerful catalyst,' he stated.

US firms hit record office leasing volumes in India
New Delhi: US-based companies achieved record-breaking office leasing volumes in India during the period from 2022 to Q1 2025, with 2024 marking the highest annual activity ever recorded, according to global real estate firm JLL. The report highlighted that US-origin Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have played a major role in this growth, accounting for over two-thirds of all US corporate leasing in India. This strong presence reflects India's growing importance in long-term business strategies of American firms. JLL said 'US firms achieved record-breaking office leasing volumes in India during 2022-Q1 2025.... US-origin Global Capability Centers (GCCs) dominate with over two-thirds share of all US corporate leasing. 'Technology remains the leading sector for US occupier activity in India. However, the report also noted that GCCs in the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector, as well as those focused on manufacturing, have shown the strongest growth in leasing activity. This points to a shift in India's value proposition, expanding beyond traditional IT services to more diversified capabilities. According to JLL, Bengaluru has reinforced its status as the top choice for US companies, accounting for 35 per cent of all leasing activity by American firms between 2022 and Q1 2025. The city, often called India's Silicon Valley, has evolved into a multi-sectoral hub with growing leasing interest from not only tech firms but also manufacturing, financial services, and e-commerce GCCs. Hyderabad and Delhi NCR followed Bengaluru as the second and third most attractive markets for US occupiers, while Chennai and Pune also saw notable activity. From 2017 through Q1 2025, US occupiers have consistently maintained a dominant 34.2 per cent share of India's total office leasing market. The momentum remained strong into Q1 2025, with leasing volumes matching the quarterly average seen in 2024. Interestingly, the report mentioned that Mumbai stood out as the only major metro where US-based BFSI GCCs have surpassed all other sectors in terms of leasing activity. This further strengthens Mumbai's reputation as the financial hub for American companies expanding global operations. The findings highlight India's rising prominence in the global office market, driven by sectoral diversification and the strong role of US firms in shaping the country's commercial real estate landscape.
