India's technology employment market is showing signs of recovery, with active technology job openings reaching around 123,000 in October 2026, according to an Xpheno report cited by Financial Express. (financialexpress.com)

The figure represents a 17% year-on-year increase and the highest level reported in 18 months.

IT services lead hiring

IT services companies account for a large share of the openings, with around 66,000 technology positions reported in the sector.

Demand is increasingly focused on specialised skills rather than only traditional software development.

Key areas include:

  • Artificial intelligence

  • Cloud computing

  • Data analytics

  • Cybersecurity

  • Software engineering

  • Automation

  • Digital transformation

Experienced professionals in demand

Mid- and senior-level professionals account for a significant portion of available positions.

This indicates that companies are looking for workers who can contribute immediately to specialised projects rather than relying entirely on entry-level recruitment.

Hyderabad remains important

Hyderabad continues to be one of India's major technology employment centres, alongside Bengaluru and Chennai.

The expansion of Global Capability Centres is also supporting demand for technology professionals.

Office-based work increases

The latest hiring data also points to stronger demand for office-based positions, while fully remote opportunities remain more limited than during the peak remote-work period.

News National Takeaway

The technology jobs market appears to be recovering, but the nature of hiring is changing. Professionals with AI, cloud, cybersecurity, data and specialised technical skills are likely to remain in strong demand.
