As per our data, hiring increased by 34% in 2021 especially in comparison to 2020, with industries like manufacturing and automotive showing signs of recovery, and we expect it to increase by 31% in 2022. While we confronted some issues, including the ongoing tech talent shortfall, skills shortage, and the Great Resignation, we've come back stronger, with most sectors displaying a greater appetite for hiring in 2022."

R. Mukundan, Chairman, CII National Committee on Industrial Relations, and Managing Director & CEO, Tata Chemicals, showcased the macroeconomic factors supporting this positive hiring sentiment, saying, "As we pave the way towards India@2047, the path towards self-reliance in India must always be supported by a large availability of a skilled workforce to meet the demands of Industry 4.0."
