Roles & Talent
What roles you can hire in India and what the talent landscape looks like.
Talent domains we hire for
India produces over 1.5 million engineering graduates every year. Add to that a rapidly maturing ecosystem of designers, product managers, data scientists, and operations specialists — and you have one of the most competitive talent markets in the world.
But volume doesn't mean it's easy. The quality gap between the top 10% and the rest is significant. Salary expectations vary wildly between cities. And the market moves fast — strong candidates often hold multiple offers.
Understanding what's available, what it costs, and where to look is the first step to hiring well in India.
