India’s ITeS Sector To See 20% Job Growth In 2025: Instahyre Report

India’s Information Technology and Enabled Services (ITeS) sector will witness a 20% rise in job opportunities in 2025, according to the Instahyre Tech Salary Index 2025.

The AI-based hiring platform analyzed over 42,000 anonymized candidate profiles and 11,000 recruiter-candidate interactions to assess hiring trends and salary shifts.

The report predicts a 75% surge in AI, cybersecurity, and cloud computing roles due to increased adoption of emerging technologies.

The gig economy and remote work models will further drive a 10% sectoral expansion.

However, as technology evolves, 40% of the workforce will need upskilling to remain competitive.

DevOps professionals with AWS expertise are seeing a 10% salary hike across experience levels.

Frontend developers with 0-5 years of experience have faced a salary decline of 1.5 LPA, while those with 6+ years have gained nearly 4 LPA.

Python remains the highest-paying backend skill, with salaries doubling every five years of experience.

Java has also shown strong growth, with salaries increasing fivefold from entry-level to professionals with over ten years of experience.

Bangalore Leads, Tier-2 Cities Gain Momentum

Bangalore accounts for 35% of India’s tech workforce, followed by Delhi-NCR and Hyderabad (20% each), Pune (15%), and Chennai (10%).

Remote work is enabling professionals to move to non-metro areas, expanding the talent pool.

Tier-2 cities like Chandigarh, Jaipur, and Indore are emerging as new tech hubs.

Cybersecurity and space technology startups will drive digital economy hiring, with companies focusing on skill-based hiring over diversity targets.

“As organizations embrace new hiring strategies, professionals who upskill and specialize will lead career growth,” said Sarbojit Mallick, Co-founder of Instahyre.
