In this episode, Kamal Karanth, co-founder and CEO of Xpheno, a staffing firm in Bengaluru, explains the modest increase in open IT positions in recent times.

Not much has changed yet for the IT giants, but non-tech companies rooted in India’s economy, as well as a new wave of global capability centres are hiring, Karanth says.
