Employers Seek Business-Savvy Freshers Amid AI-Driven Job Market Changes
India's job market is increasingly challenging for fresh graduates as employers seek candidates with practical skills and business understanding, especially amid rising AI integration. Entry-level job postings have declined more sharply than overall positions, with companies like Publicis Sapient hiring fewer freshers due to their limited domain knowledge. Industry leaders expect this gap to persist until educational curricula evolve, emphasizing business processes alongside technical expertise to meet new workplace demands.
