Deval Singh, business head, telecom, IT& ITes, media and government, TeamLease Services told Financial Express, ““Telecom industry has undergone significant disruption in the past few years and the pandemic has amplified it further. While in 2020, telecom companies rose to the occasion by ensuring people stay connected to school, family, offices and hospitals, which in turn created a huge demand for talent.” TeamLease said the job market in the telecom sector is growing and is expected to get better in the quarters to come. Telecom is one of the few industries that grew even in 2020 for the world needed to stay connected from home. The current scale and pace of change in the telecom industry is being driven by the rapid evolution of new technologies like AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, advanced data analytics and edge computing.
