Summary:

India’s white-collar job hiring surged 32% YoY in January 2025, driven by semiconductors, energy, waste management, and manufacturing. The growth stems from rising consumer demand, Union Budget FY26 incentives, and sustainability focus, with green jobs increasing 41% in two years due to clean energy and net-zero initiatives.

Bengaluru, Delhi, and Pune are major green job hubs, with high demand for skills in energy auditing and sustainability. This demand may grow 11% in 2025, driven by renewable energy, EVs, and green hydrogen. Retail and travel hiring rose due to consumer demand, digital transformation, and supportive government policies.
