Speaking on skill development, Piyush Nangru, the COO and co-founder of Sunstone Eduversity, said, "A leading cause of poor productivity and lack of alignment in the work scenario is the absence of a functional, cutting-edge training and learning ecosystem. Therefore, making education tailored to the demands of the corporate world through experiential learning and industry interaction during college will be the redefining factor for education in the coming years. These factors make it imperative for 'Soft-skills' and 'Content designed for in-demand specialisations', to be a prominent part of the curriculum and base-level training. There are numerous opportunities already in place for academic collaborations to empower our freshers and make them employable, and we, as educators, need to embrace them."

Highlighting the macro-economic factors supporting this positive hiring sentiment, R Mukundan, Chairman, CII National Committee on Industrial Relations and Managing Director & CEO, Tata Chemicals Ltd. said, "As we pave the way towards India@2047, the path towards self-reliant India has to be supported by a large availability of a skilled workforce to meet the demands of Industry 4.0.

Our data shows that hiring in 2021 increased by 34 per cent over 2020, with sectors such as manufacturing and automotive showing recovery, and we expect it to increase further by 31 per cent in 2022.
