Healthcare GCCs Face Talent Shortage, Offer Premiums Amid Growing AI Hiring Demand
India's healthcare global capability centres (GCCs) are experiencing a significant talent shortage, especially in specialised AI, machine learning, data analytics, clinical research, and regulatory roles. These centres are offering salaries up to 2.5 times the median and facing up to 90-day vacancies for senior AI positions. Mid-career professionals with 3-12 years of experience constitute nearly 93% of hiring demand, with Bengaluru and Hyderabad leading in workforce concentration and projected job openings, which are expected to reach 67,000 in 2026.
