India's Job Postings Rise 1.2% in July Amid Healthcare Growth and Tech Hiring Slowdown
India's job market showed a modest recovery in July 2026, with job postings rising 1.2% after three months of decline and reaching 8.3% above year-ago levels. Hiring remains 84% above pre-pandemic levels, driven by strong demand in healthcare and care-related roles such as medical technicians, childcare, physicians, and therapy. Conversely, technology sector hiring, including IT infrastructure and software development, has slowed. Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing job descriptions across both tech and non-tech roles, reflecting evolving employer demands.
