2021 was a positive year of the IT/ITes industry. Most companies closed the calendar year on a high note and we expect this growth momentum to continue in 2022. The industry is likely to see 2X hiring particularly for freshers and for professionals under 2 years of work experience. We’ve also doubled our intake of non-engineer freshers through our work-integrated learning program. We’ve also launched some diversity and inclusion initiatives to facilitate a greater share of women in the workforce.
