BENGALURU HAS MAXIMUM TECHNOLOGY JOBS IN INDIA

Bengaluru is the leading city for those seeking job opportunities in the technology sector, by a considerable margin, with 22% of all job postings in the country originating from the city.

It is followed by Delhi-NCR (comprising New Delhi, Noida and Gurugram), Pune, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, making up the top five destinations for technology careers in India, according to a survey by Indeed.

Smaller cities such as Mohali and Ahmedabad also see a fair share of job postings in the sector; with Chennai also featuring in the leading cities for jobs in the technology sector.

Aptly named the Silicon Valley of India, it comes as no surprise that Bengaluru continues to lead in terms of job opportunities in the technology sector, given that it has in the past been the home ground for several start-ups.

While the actively job seeking age group of 20-29 year olds continue to show a relatively high level of interest in the technology sector – the age group is also the most actively hired; interestingly, senior jobseekers above the age of 55 are also showing significant interest in the sector.

Conversely, the 40-49 age group shows the least interest in the sector.

While India produces a significant share of the world’s graduates, there is an urgent need to ensure parity between skilling programmes and industry’s requirements. It is up to both employers and job seekers to undertake measures that help in developing the requisite skills for the job roles in question.

Such initiatives will reduce the skills gap and alleviate the perceived talent crunch that companies are facing.
