Key takeaways up front
- GCCs drove the largest absolute volume of new roles
- Tier-2 hiring grew fastest in percentage terms
- Titles are inconsistent — search by skill, not designation
Job-board titles hide more than they reveal. This is a read of where AI roles actually opened last quarter, by sector, city and the skills each cluster asks for.
1By sector
Three clusters accounted for most net new openings.
- Global capability centres: platform, evaluation and governance roles
- BFSI: document intelligence, risk and compliance automation
- D2C and retail: content, support automation and demand forecasting
2By city
Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune still lead on volume, but Indore, Coimbatore and Kochi posted the fastest growth from a small base — largely remote-first product teams.
3How to search effectively
Search by skill keywords — retrieval, evaluation, automation, forecasting — rather than by title. The same role is posted under six different designations.
What to do next
- Search job boards by skill, not by job title.
- GCCs are the highest-volume entry point right now.
- Remote-first teams in tier-2 cities are the fastest-growing segment.
