Daya Prakash, founder of TalentOnLease, said that IT companies have reduced their costs to the point where businesses can maintain their profitability. “It has been exacerbated by increased bench size, higher retention rates, and moderate attrition over the previous quarters, coinciding with an overall weak hiring season for IT professionals.”

He added that the workforce rationalization process will streamline the talent pool and retain only the skilled and qualified talent in the New Age Technologies, so the employees must start thinking seriously about that.

“The Indian tech sector soon will see an intensifying talent war as the digital landscape evolves and matures. The jobs of tomorrow would drastically differ from those of today. Therefore, IT and tech professionals must broaden the scope of their expertise to include ancillary skills that complement and accentuate their core competencies, as individual performance and contribution will be of the utmost importance,” Prakash said.
