Emerging Technologies

A Booming Job Market :

India’s tech industry is undergoing a major transformation, and the demand for skilled talent in emerging technologies is skyrocketing.

The Indian IT sector, already employing over 5.4 million professionals, is projected to cross $300 billion in revenues by FY26. After a brief slowdown in 2024, hiring is expected to rebound in 2025, with AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, DevOps, and data science leading the charge.

According to industry reports:

• Fresher hiring is set to reach 74%, with companies actively seeking candidates who are trained in next-gen tech.
• A 20% increase in tech job roles is expected in 2025, driven by the rapid adoption of automation, AI, and digital platforms.
• Non-metro cities like Coimbatore, Jaipur, Madurai, and Visakhapatnam are emerging as new tech hiring hubs, spreading opportunities beyond traditional IT cities.

What This Means for You :

This will give students a Hands-on experience in technologies like AI, machine learning, full stack development, and cybersecurity will give you a competitive edge. Certifications, real-world projects, and internships are more valuable than ever.

The Path Ahead :

With companies ramping up skilling budgets and tech roles diversifying rapidly, this is the ideal time to build future-ready talent. Whether you’re a student planning your next step, a parent looking to guide your child, or a faculty member designing a curriculum—the future belongs to those who learn emerging technologies today.

India remains one of the youngest nations in the world, presenting a powerful opportunity to transform our demographic advantage into economic growth through future-ready skill development.

The Numbers That Matter :

• With a median age of just 29.5 years (2023), India is far younger than countries like China (~39.8) and Japan (~49.5).
• Over 50% of India’s population is below the age of 25, and nearly 65% fall within the working-age group (15–64 years).
• This youthful energy gives India a decade-long window to become the world’s talent powerhouse—if the right skills are nurtured.

Why This Is Important :

As other global economies age, India’s young workforce is in high demand. However, only around 4–5% of Indian youth currently receive formal vocational training, highlighting a major gap in employability.

This is where institutions play a vital role.

A Call to Action :

• Students: You are the future workforce of the world. Focus on skilling, upskilling, and hands-on learning in emerging technologies and core sectors.
• Parents & Faculty: Encourage skill-based education and support real-world exposure to prepare students for tomorrow’s jobs.
• We, as an Institution: Integrate industry-aligned programs and certifications to make your graduates more employable and globally competitive.

India’s youth isn’t just a statistic—it’s a strategic advantage. Let’s empower it with the right education and opportunities to unlock the true potential of our nation.
