India will need 1 in 3 tech roles to be reskilled by 2030 — this report maps where the gap is widest and what actually closes it.
What the report covers
Drawing on data from 200+ hiring partners and surveys with 5,000 recent tech graduates, the report examines the mismatch between what colleges teach and what employers need — and lays out a practical framework for bridging it.
- The six roles growing fastest across cyber, cloud, AI, IoT, digital media and health-tech.
- Skills employers actually screen for — versus what appears on resumes.
- Where geography, gender and background still filter out capable candidates.
- How bootcamp-plus-industry models compare with traditional degree paths.
Key findings
Job-ready capability, not credentials, is now the primary screen for entry-level tech roles across our surveyed employers. Candidates who ship a capstone project alongside their qualification convert 3.4× more often than those with a stronger academic transcript alone.
