India's tech job openings rose 3% month-on-month in August with overall recovery continuing since July, while Global Capability Centres (GCCs) moderate hiring focusing on 75-80% experienced specialists in AI, cloud, and automation skills, commanding 25-30% higher salaries.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to target experienced AI, cloud, and cybersecurity specialists as GCCs tighten hiring to deeper skills over headcount. Rising salaries in these niches mean you must sharpen your talent acquisition or risk cost and access disadvantages.
