These figures indicate a job market
India's AI Labour Market: Artificial Intelligence on the Rise, in the General Revenue Stage Although the overall Indian IT labour market is slowing, AI roles continue to thrive. A recent analysis of Naukri's monthly JobSpeak report, cited by Reuters, reveals an increase of 16% in AI employment in India's IT sector compared to the same period last year. This development strongly contrasts with an overall decline of 3% in IT job listings. This discrepancy underscores the continued growth of the talent market, valued at $315 million, in the context of AI-specialized jobs and in the context of new job recruitment opportunities, as well as the decline in labour market pressures and employment in the IT industry

For IT leaders, this transformation means that adopting AI is no longer just a technological issue, but also redefines the skills needed in their teams. IT workforce plans are being influenced by the increased demand for AI professionals. Naukri's JobSpeak report, which analyzed job listings from over 150,000 companies, confirms this trend: a 16% increase in AI model in June, compared to a 3% decline in IT jobs overall. Hitesh, CEO of Naukri's parent company Ober Info Info, stressed that this divergence is particularly significant for Reuters because it shows that the technology sector is continuing to invest in the IT industry, and that the number of AI-specialized firms is increasingly declining as the number of AI professionals and technology companies continues to grow.
The employment trend is not confined to software exporters
The employment trend is not confined to software exporters. In 14 sectors, AI-related jobs and machine learning have surpassed software services, according to the Naukri report. ForkLog, also citing Naukri data, noted that the insurance and consumer goods sectors have recorded the strongest employment growth during this period. This expansion suggests that AI demand in India is exceeding software services as more and more industries seek to automate infrastructure flows, improve customer services, analyze data and build predictive systems. A future of the workforce becomes a specialized job For this workforce, AI will continue to adapt to the demands of the marketplace, as AI technologies are increasingly being used in automation, and the role of AI technology in the construction industry will be more important.
