According to the report’s estimates, higher acceptance of new technologies (59%) and improved internet access (55%) are the two factors that would fuel job development in India, followed by broader applications of ESG (environment, social, and governance) norms. AI and machine learning experts, as well as data analysts and scientists, will be the top positions for industry transformation in India.
According to the survey, the manufacturing and oil/gas sectors have the highest levels of green skill intensity worldwide, with India, the US, and Finland leading the list for the same.
In addition, countries’ attitudes on the availability of talent when hiring were more favorable in populous economies like India and China when compared to the worldwide average.
