IT services hiring in India is expected to grow 10%-12% in the next six months, reports The Economic Times, citing research from Quess Corp. It comes as emerging technologies such as generative AI, deep tech, and quantum computing emerge and are set to create over a million jobs by 2030.

Quess Corp’s research showed that demand for talent across global capability centres (GCCs) and cybersecurity during the second quarter (July-September) sequentially surged across the country by 71% and 58%, respectively, compared to the previous quarter. Furthermore, 79% of the aggregate demand emerged from the top five skill suites, including development, ERP, testing, networking and data science.

This report is based on data from the first two-quarters of FY25 from Quess IT Staffing’s operations that analyses the evolving aggregate tech hiring demand and related insights.
