Demand for tech talent is growing at non-tech companies, says report

The overnight shift to a digital mode of operation triggered the need for more technology talent across nontech industries. This breakthrough has resulted in a tremendous rise in tech hiring, says a TeamLease report.

There has been a steep hike in tech recruitment within non-tech industries in recent years, totalling over 1 lakh active openings over the last couple of months.

This has played a major role in the movement of tech personnel from niche tech industries into non-tech industries, coupled with a string of layoffs across leading technology companies.

Today, the non-tech sector in India employs over 7.65 lakh tech professionals and is exhibiting an unprecedented demand for more tech talent.

The incremental growth in salary in non-tech industries is higher than in technology-centric companies.
