Nearly 53 per cent of all startup jobs are directed towards freshers, according to the report by talent platform foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME).

Overall hiring activity witnessed a 9 per cent monthly uptick and a 9 per cent yearly increase.

“Additionally, the production and manufacturing sector has witnessed a remarkable 31 per cent year-on-year surge in hiring,” said Sekhar Garisa, CEO, foundit.

Startups in the IT (information technology) services sector noticed a steady increase in jobs, from 20 per cent to 23 per cent between April 2023 and April this year.

In contrast, startups in the internet, BFSI/fintech, and media and entertainment industries witnessed a slight decline in hiring.
