India's White-Collar Hiring Rises 14% in October Led by Manufacturing Growth
India's white-collar hiring grew 14% year-on-year in October, led by a 39% rise in production and manufacturing roles, according to Naukri's JobSpeak report. The automobile sector saw a 36% increase, with strong gains in research and development, procurement, and supply chain roles. Demand for AI and machine learning skills rose 32%, while sectors like BPO, ITES, and banking also reported growth. The increase partly reflects a softer hiring base due to last year's Diwali holidays.
