Information technology (IT) sector in India is witnessing strong growth, with hiring activity increasing by 16 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in April 2025, a new report said on Friday.
A major driver behind this growth is the rapid expansion of Global Capability Centres (GCCs), which have created over 110,000 new tech jobs during the financial year 2024-25, according to data compiled by jobs platform foundit (formerly Monster APAC and ME).
This hiring boom comes despite an 11 per cent month-on-month dip in April, which the report attributes to seasonal trends.
Overall, the outlook remains positive, with consistent demand across experience levels and an increasing focus on specialised, future-ready skills.
According to V. Suresh, CEO of foundit,, the sector is entering a new phase of ‘strategic growth'. He emphasised that India is moving from quantity-based hiring to skill-based, innovation-led employment.
“This transformation reflects India’s broader vision to empower its youth for global leadership in science and innovation,” he said, adding that tier-2 cities are becoming important contributors to the digital economy.
GCCs are playing a central role in this shift, especially in areas like data engineering, DevOps, and enterprise architecture.
