ICRIER Finds AI Reshapes IT Hiring Patterns

A recent ICRIER study, backed by OpenAI and based on a survey of over 650 firms, finds generative AI is moderating entry-level hiring, increasing demand for skilled mid-level workers, and providing stability at senior levels in India’s IT sector. It reports highest demand for statisticians, application developers and database administrators, widespread exposure of data-entry and manual-testing tasks, and warns firms are underinvesting in LLM operations hiring, R&D expansion and workforce upskilling.
Scoring Rationale
Strong industry-wide survey evidence supports adoption trends, but single-study scope and limited training detail constrain generalizability.
