Integrating automation in Indian manufacturing alongside emerging employment opportunities

India’s manufacturing sector is experiencing a surge in job growth. According to a report from Indeed, the global hiring platform, the country’s production and manufacturing sector remains one of the most active job postings, with a 36 per cent increase. Despite this growth, the industry faces a 40 per cent talent mismatch, partly driven by a 3 per cent decline in job seekers’ interest in manufacturing roles. As India positions itself as a global export leader, addressing this talent gap is crucial for sustained growth. This can be achieved through substantial investment in upskilling and reskilling programs to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers while fostering an environment conducive to job growth.
