India labour market context
India’s hiring mix in 2025 is tilted toward digital roles, global capability centres, and deeper demand in financial services, manufacturing, and technology. Employers are competing harder for scarce skills, so promotion and switch premiums for critical roles often run higher than general annual increments. Flexible and hybrid setups remain part of the offer, alongside cash and long-term incentives for senior hires.
