The recruitments in India’s IT sector may increase by 7 to 10 percent in the first half of 2025. Apart from this, the sector can create 4 to 4.5 lakh new jobs throughout the year. Industry experts gave this information on Friday. India’s IT sector saw stability in the fourth quarter of FY 25 and income was increased by 1-3 percent on an annual basis, which indicates expansion and global priority change according to the plan. CEO-IT Staffing of Firstmeridian Business Services, Sunil Nehra said, “It shows that companies are adopting more targeted approach for global technology investment, but digital transformation is still going on.
The report stated that AI/ML, cloud computing, data engineering and automation etc. are constantly investing, which shows confidence in emerging technology. Its effect is also seen on the recruitment.
Nehra said that recruitment in various regions of India will gradually accelerate. The hiring sentiment for freshers in FY 26 has been positive, which shows the strong demand for entry-level jobs. Amid global uncertainties, the Indian IT firm saw recovery in FY 25, while the headcut was seen to fall in FY 24.
According to NLB Services CEO Sachin Alug, the rate of job in the entire industry has stabilized at the rate of 13–15 percent, which is a sign of a more balanced but developed talent landscape.

The report stated that the big investment is being made in AI and Janaria AI, which is being supported by a large scale in service lines. At the same time, cloud modernization, cyber security and data engineering remain the main capabilities. Alug said, “The demand for roles like AI/ML Engineer, Data Scientist, Cloud Architect, Dewops Engineer and ESG Analyst is quite high and 8-10 percent salary is given more than normal on these posts.”
