Automation Reshapes India's Tech Hiring Landscape
Automation is making some jobs in India's tech industry disappear, which is making it harder for big staffing companies to find work for people.
Even though some types of jobs are disappearing, other kinds of jobs are becoming more important.
India is really good at making computer programs, but other countries are making machines that can do some of those jobs too.
To stay ahead, India needs to invest more in making special computers for thinking like humans.
Automation is reducing routine recruitment in India's tech industry
Large staffing firms dependent on IT hiring are feeling the impact
GCCs are hiring less in traditional IT and support roles but more in specialized areas
IT hiring remains soft, but non-tech sectors are showing steady growth
