Nomura Report: AI-Linked Hiring in India Surpasses Layoffs Amid Workforce Shifts
Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping India's labor market, with Nomura reporting 83,100 AI-related hires against 31,921 layoffs and attrition, indicating a net positive employment impact. Most job losses involve support roles replaced by chatbots, while hiring favors experienced IT graduates. However, demand for entry-level positions is declining, creating a two-tier workforce. India, as a global back-office hub with a large workforce, is considered a key case for assessing AI's employment effects. Meanwhile, AI professionals express growing concerns about job security amid ongoing industry shifts.
