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 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.
