New Delhi: The growth in net addition of employees by Indian IT players has been gradually decelerating as the sector focuses on enhanced efficiency and innovation.

“There is a continuing trend of gentle deceleration in net hiring growth rate (but with a growing base) as industry focuses on innovation, new digital technologies and enhanced efficiencies,” PP Chaudhary, Minister of State for Electronics and IT, said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
He added that “companies are re-aligning and re-adjusting themselves to the changing business scenarios and adjusting their workforce accordingly. The growth in total employees stood at seven per cent in 2014-15, which came down to six per cent the following year and was five per cent in 2016-017.”
