About 25% of the country’s five million tech force falls under the ‘bulging middle’, who are in the age bracket of 40-45. Close to 30% of this generation, which works between the younger lot and the top management, are perennial job seekers, according to industry experts.
Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO at Everest Group, observes, “I see significant disruptions to the existing operating model which relies on large India-based talent factories. The model will have greater onshoring and the skillsets needed will evolve from traditional customer-facing to hardcore engineering with more industry and domain focus.”
