There is good news for job seekers in the Indian Information Technology sector. After the decline in jobs in the IT sector this year, the future now looks good in the new year. The focus on specific skills, especially AI and data science, is a sign of change in this sector.
In India, the IT sector saw a decline in recruitment in the year 2024. Now the prospects for 2025 look promising. The job market is expected to improve in economic conditions and development in technology. Sunil Chemmankottil, ‘Country Manager’ of Adecco India, said, “Recruitment from the Global Capability Center (GCC) got a boost, which created 52.6 percent of the jobs for technology professionals, but they could not fully compensate for the huge decline in the IT service sector.
Increasing demand for jobs in AI and machine learning
According to Adecco Research, demand for various roles in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has increased by 39 per cent, reflecting a shift towards a more specialised skill structure as organisations prioritise these technologies. Jaideep Kewalramani, Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Head of Employability Business, TeamLease EdTech, said that the recruitment of new professionals (freshers) in general remained slow in 2024, with many companies delaying their ‘campus hiring’.
Estimates are good for 2025
As the macroeconomic challenges slow down, organizations will be confident about the economic scenario and start placing some bets on capital investments, which will help it grow in early 2025. Wipro Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Sandhya Arun said enterprises are set to accelerate the integration of AI and other advanced technologies to achieve significant business value. Arun said, “The year 2025 will be a year of rapid technology change, which will provide new opportunities and also present unprecedented challenges. The future belongs to those enterprises that embrace technology and change.
