The year 2017 was a year of disruption for Indian job landscape, but hiring scenario looks glossy in the new year with likely addition of 2 lakh jobs in the IT industry, experts say.
The Indian job market is in a state of flux, thanks to rising adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), and according to experts, upskilling is the only way employees will be able to survive this transitory phase.
While rising adoption of automation technologies will lead to job losses for some segments, sectors like mobile manufacturing, Fintech and startups look bullish going ahead.
The Indian IT industry is expected to add around 1.8-2 lakh new jobs in 2018,”experts said.
Further, as India is heading towards Digital India, the industry requires 50 per cent more workforce equipped with digital skills.
