India's Job Postings Rise 1.2% in July Led by Healthcare Amid AI Influence
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, according to Indeed. Hiring remains 84% above pre-pandemic levels, driven by strong demand in healthcare and care-related roles, including medical technicians and childcare. Conversely, technology sector postings, particularly in IT infrastructure and software development, declined. Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing job descriptions across various sectors, reflecting evolving hiring trends.
