Domestic factors keep India's white-collar job market resilient despite overall slowdown in job creation

Companies in sectors including manufacturing, BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance), oil & gas, real estate & construction, auto & auto ancillary, FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods), retail, electric vehicles (EV), telecom, and travel & hospitality are looking to hire this quarter, experts said. Interestingly, while IT/ITeS and startups have seen a sharp comedown from last year's hiring frenzy, tech talent continues to be the most in demand as non-tech industries are undergoing a digital transformation.
