India's job market experiences significant turnaround
Good news for job seekers: India's job market is showing real signs of life again. After eight straight months of drops, job postings jumped 8.9%, says Indeed. While things aren't quite back to last year's numbers, postings are still almost 80% higher than before the pandemic. According to Indeed's Callam Pickering, this rebound is thanks to India moving toward a more formal economy.

Software development jobs dipped a bit but still lead overall. Meanwhile, AI is making waves—mentions of generative AI in job listings have doubled, popping up most in Karnataka and Telangana.
