India's Tech Hiring Hits 6-Year Low

The number of tech jobs in India is at a six-year low.

In January 2026, there were 103,000 job openings, which is 24% fewer than the same time last year.

This is the second-lowest number of tech jobs in six years.

The tech sector, which used to be the biggest employer, has seen a big drop in job openings since late 2022.

Experts say this is because of economic worries, automation, and companies focusing on being more efficient.

Some types of tech jobs, like entry-level and senior positions, have seen even bigger drops.

However, global capability centers (GCCs) are hiring more people and are expected to keep growing.
