The tech landscape in India is in the midst of a profound transformation, driven by a surging demand for automation and proficiency in critical technical domains like big data analytics and artificial intelligence. A recent report highlights the pressing need for a pool of highly skilled talent to meet the evolving demands of the industry.
According to global recruitment firm Michael Page India, there was 28-30 per cent growth in the demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, Machine Learning (ML) and Cyber Security talent in the third quarter of 2023.
Demand remains high for experienced talent at mid to senior level. Observing the job postings volume on the Michael Page India website, a significant surge in demand, ranging from 28-30 per cent, was seen in Q3 2023 compared to Q1 and Q2.
“As AI continues to transform various sectors, companies are seeking top talent to harness the potential of this technology. The demand remains high for experienced talent at mid to senior levels,” said Pranshu Upadhyay, regional director of Michael Page India.
“A noticeable shift is observed in the definition of a Chief Technology Officer (CTO), emphasizing visionary qualities and forward-thinking perspectives. A modern day CTO is not expected to just execute but ideate as much,” Upadhyay said.
Upadhyay further said that even at mid/junior level apart from hard skill sets in IT , soft skills such as good communication and interpersonal abilities are gaining prominence, underscoring the holistic approach required in the tech industry.
