The Information Technology (IT) sector in India needs no introduction. Having played a remarkable role in the emergence of India as a leading economy in the world, IT continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Exports have been the key driver and will continue to be the primary catalyst of its evolution going forward. Global Market Analysis firm IDC expects the overall IT and ITES market in India to touch US$ 132 billion and the domestic IT market to be at US$ 50 billion by 2012.

Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) remains the largest vertical market for the Indian IT sector, followed by High Technology (HiTech), Telecom, Accounting, Manufacturing and Retail. Other key segments include Media, Healthcare, Airlines and Transportation, and Utilities.

The BPO industry in India is maintaining a blazing growth rate. Service providers are now looking to move up the value chain in terms of their offerings to their vendors.

Market openings are abundant across four broad sectors: IT services, software products, IT enabled services, and e-businesses thus creating a number of employment opportunities. ‘Hot Jobs’ change yearly, depending on many economic factors. Currently, the fastest growing areas are:

• Managed Services
• Telecom and Networks

In short, if you thought that the heydays of IT in India have come and gone, think twice, because the employability in this sector continues to be one of the highest in India across:

• Software Development firms
• IT Security & Business Intelligence companies
• Data Storage organisations
• Data Centres and IT Infrastructure companies
