Although the Indian information technology (IT) services sector has seen some sluggishness in bulk hiring, those pertaining niche skills are in demand as clients narrow their focus to specific areas.
The on-going trend of hiring personnel with niche skills will continue to go on even further. Even the fresher hiring is focused on bringing on board engineers to train them on new technologies such as social, mobility, analytics and cloud.
Along with SMAC, in high demand from clients across industry segments, mobile application development is another specialisation where professionals are in demand.
Professionals with odd-skills, high focus and niche skills are likely to be eligible for and attract 50% premium in remuneration. The highest increments would be for software architects, programme managers, domain specialists, delivery heads and customer relationship executives.
However, traditional IT will continue to see some demand because one cannot apply new technologies like cloud to every sector and industry.
As technology changes the way we live our day-to-day lives, it is fascinating to imagine what the future will bring. Listed below are some innovations which are likely to turn into reality by 2025.
Dementia will decline: By identifying problematic DNA, scientists will be able to produce actual technology to fight the biological decline of one's mental capacity and prevent diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Solar will be the biggest source of energy: Something called solar photovoltaic energy will use solar panels to heat buildings and water while powering devices at home and in the office.
Type I diabetes will be preventable: A human genome engineering platform will make it possible to modify disease-carrying genes and prevent conditions like Type I Diabetes.
Food shortages and food price fluctuations will no longer be a problem: Lighting and imaging technologies will improve crop growth year round and combat the problems of traditional farming. We will also be able to grow genetically-modified crops indoors.
Electric transportation will be huge: By 2025 electric vehicles will take over traditional vehicles and because their battery will be able to last longer, one would be able to travel longer distances more easily.
Everything will be digitally connected: Wireless communications will dominate our everyday lives by 2025. Cars, homes, and appliances will be connected, and this will be the case around the world in every location.
Biodegradable packing will be the norm: Packaging will be made of cellulose materials that are plastic-like but actually made of plant matter so it's biodegradable.
Safer, healthier drugs to fight cancer: By 2025, more targeted cancer-fighting drugs will lead to better treatments for cancer. They would be more precise and exact, leading to reduced side effects.
France’s largest retailer, Carrefour plans to leave the Indian market after the failure of talks with Bharti Group to form a joint venture for its wholesale business there.
The Local laws require international retailers to find an Indian partner to open supermarkets, which Carrefour has failed at. The company ensures to be fully operational with all its employees, suppliers, partners and customers to ensure smooth transition till September. This step has led to loss of 800+ employees in the organization.
Among all the players, Tesco is the only global chain that plans to open such outlets, with India's Tata Group. Wal-Mart Stores, Germany's Metro and Carrefour all run wholesale warehouse-like stores where only registered traders can shop for goods.
The top 10 e-commerce companies in the country plan to go on a massive hiring spree this year for its entire ecosystem: ancillary units, supply chain and logistics and temporary employees.
The FY 2015 might be an inflection point for e-commerce sector, and the hiring may touch 1 lakh overall. The industry which saw sales of $12 billion, is expected to touch $75 billion by 2020 and for growth, companies have to be ready with engineering teams, customer agents and logistic support to meet the demand.
Many of the firms, notably Flipkart, Snapdel and Myntra, the largest domestic e-commerce players, are doubling their headcount this year to keep at bay aggressive competitors such as Amazon. Online food and restaurant listings startup Zomato plans to double its numbers from 650 in core functions such as tech, sales, content and operations because of its expansion in countries across the Americas, Middle East, Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia.
Stepping up campus recruitments is also part of the game plan.
Micro-finance institution Bandhan Financial Services, along with IDFC, which had got an in-principle license from the Reserve Bank of India, is going to set up a new-generation bank with its headquarters in Kolkata.
The institute is all set to start its recruitment drive prior to starting its banking operations across the country.
The organization is scouting for best skilled professionals for its high-end positions in various fields such as IT, treasury, retail and others areas. Also, the entry level officers and clerical roles in public sector will see the highest intake. The demand for lot of backend jobs and support functions, including those in processing, outsourcing to third parties and the like would be most sought for.
Beyond the familiar base of transactional data and text, emerging technologies and frameworks are providing banks with the power and tools to digest digital and physical channel interactions.
Big Data is set to dramatically enhance key areas in banking such as fraud analytics, customer analytics, and web analytics. Mentioned below are some potential uses of Big Data in banking in long term:
Big data should be investment priority for many banks: Banks face many challenges, such as difficulty in driving revenue growth and managing risk and compliance, but now investing in technology can enable them to address these issues. Big Data projects implementation can help to enhance areas such as web security, compliance checks, and customer analytics.
Spending on MIS will reach $9.3 billion by the end of 2018: The market size of management information systems in 2013 – including data collation, analytics, and reporting systems – to support banks in areas such as distribution, risk, finance, and compliance is estimated at $6.9bn globally (including software, hardware, and services).
Delivering Big Data projects requires collaboration across business: Big Data changes the approach to data governance and quality: data does not have to be processed beforehand, but analysts can work with all the integrated data and focus on achieving results that are broadly accurate and the result of iteration, depending on the applicability to a business case.
The type of data will dictate the architectural and analytical approach to analysis: Banks need to look to capture more information than they are used to, go beyond risk and marketing data, and treat it as an enterprise asset. Such an approach does not replace banks’ current analytical infrastructure but extends their ability to analyze more data and gain insights that were previously difficult and costly to achieve.

Due to reduction in the growth rate and slowdown in commercial vehicles, the Indian automotive industry has lost at least 10% of the jobs across the industry in the last two years.
Around 25-30 lakh jobs have been lost in the country and there is a dire need for the country to focus on manufacturing sector to enhance growth and guaranteed sustainability.
Stating that the automotive industry is the engine of growth for the manufacturing industry and also for the country as a whole mobility is important both in the urban and the rural areas.
India's unique position in the global market place as the services led economy is in contrast to the most other developing economies and to achieve significant growth in exports and value addition in manufacturing, one has to look at the entire gambit of quality, cost and delivery and environment.
Regulatory troubles in international markets and increased competition on the domestic front has strained the drug companies in India to scout for best talent expertise to fill in the demand-supply gaps.
The lure of expansion in the industry is keeping the players in the market to look out for capable staff. The search for talent is being cut down from sales to niche areas. A huge demand on the compliance and regulatory side of the business both in the global and local markets is sought for.
A trend has been observed where the companies have been hiring across the different operations of manufacturing, supply chain, research and development, mergers and acquisitions and corporate development. Going forward, they seem stringent in showing continuous development in hiring and talent acquisition for growth.

By way of relatively easy recruitment norms, India’s ITeS industry is expected to see high double-digit attrition rates across different management levels.
With the sector to view highest overall attrition rates, the maximum attrition would be recorded among the junior level staff, followed by middle level and top management respectively.
Easy entry and exit barriers, with minimum qualifications and skills levels required, makes the junior level staff in ITeS sector less stable workforce. Additionally, a mere salary hike or a more preferred location could be more than good reason for them to change assignments.
However, raising the barriers to entry and exit, providing opportunities for brushing up skills and better pay packages can help bring down the attrition levels in the ITeS sector.
To give a boost to the Indian job market, Indian IT-BPO sector states its opinion on how can Modi led government can help doing so.
To improve the competitiveness, the industry expects the new Government to amend retrospective provisions including those applicable to software taxation, provide clarity on foreign tax credits for Indian IT players having offshore operations, extend weighted deduction for R&D services and skill development projects for IT and software companies and implement GST quickly.
To bolster innovation and move up the value chain, the IT-BPO sector wants the Government to re-classify R&D and testing services as exports, allow the sector to benefit from existing R&D promotion schemes and develop an incentive model for the same.
There is a need to promote India as an investor friendly country to have more international BPO units set up in India, which can bump up the job creation process in the coming time.
