White Collar Hiring Rises 13% in December

In December 2025, there was a 13% increase in white-collar job hiring in India.

This growth was mainly due to more jobs in hospitality, insurance, and real estate, as well as a big demand for artificial intelligence and machine learning roles.

Some cities like Hyderabad and Vijayawada saw even higher hiring growth.

Companies that are unicorns (very successful startups) also hired more people, especially in southern cities like Chennai and Hyderabad.

Overall, it was a good month for job seekers in many different fields.
