market overview
India’s business market is currently primed for expansion, with the
recruitment market being driven by significant industry sectors such as
FMCG, retail, healthcare, manufacturing and real estate. The next few years
are expected to prove critical to India’s ability to establish itself as a key
player in terms of global productivity, and leverage its unique benifit of a
large percentage of native English speakers in an emerging economy. With
the right conditions and support from both the newly elected government
and industry leaders, India is well positioned to become a leading player in
the global employment market.
The Modi government has brought optimism to the local employment
market, with clear goals in place to make India an attractive business
destination. The quick decision to relax regulations around Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) and push infrastructure investment has created positive
forecasts for India’s manufacturing industry and services sector. As a
result, business leaders are expressing optimism in these early stages,
with high hopes for increased transparency under his leadership.
The local employment market is showing signs of growing maturity,
with diversity and staff retention remaining a key focus. In the past few
years, employers have made strong headway when it comes to corporate
responsibility, including implementing solid diversity policies in order
to provide equal opportunity to candidates from all backgrounds and
genders. Some 79% of employers surveyed for the 2014/15 Michael
Page India Salary & Employment Forecast indicate that women in their
organisation are provided the same opportunity to progress to executive
level roles as men.
Managing turnover will continue to provide a major challenge for employers
in the next 12 months, with 51% of surveyed employers expecting staff
to leave their business in the coming year. There is currently significant
support from senior level executives and Human Resources teams to
implement retention strategies with a focus on non-financial gains such
as work/life balance and career development opportunities as companies
recognise the value of developing employees’ skills and offering internal
career opportunities. Business leaders who understand the importance of
strong retention policies will ensure consistency within an organisation,
which is vital for business growth.
Results of the 2014/15 Michael Page India Salary & Employment Forecast
support predictions for high levels of growth in India’s employment
market. Some 70% of surveyed employers plan to expand their team in
the coming year. As company headcount grows, the challenge lies in hiring
the right people and those with the ambition to grow within a company will
be highly sought after. In addition, many employers are currently seeking
highly competent professionals at the mid to senior management level,
with 45% of surveyed employers indicating mid-level professionals will
be in highest demand in the coming year. There is currently a shortage
of leaders at this level who are able to motivate their direct reports and
instill strong team culture within an organisation. Managers with these
leadership skills are essential for both operational purposes and to achieve
growth into the future.
India’s domestic business market has seen broader geographical diversity
over the past 12 months, with organisations looking outside the major
cities when establishing additional office locations. Pune, Chennai and
Jaipur have emerged as key destinations for this activity. Pune is attracting
more investment from industrial companies while Jaipur and Chennai are
popular locations for Shared Service Centres due to lower operating costs.
A number of key industry sectors are well positioned for growth over the
next 12 months, due to a combination of rising consumer confidence
and government policies encouraging increased activity. India’s banking
sector has seen the introduction of new licences in 2014, which has led
to greater hiring activity as new businesses are established locally. The
larger volume of job opportunities has created increased competition
in the market, driving employers to place a stronger focus on retention
strategies for existing workers.
The retail and FMCG sectors are benefitting from improved local economic
conditions, which is increasing consumer activity in these areas. As
consumer confidence grows over the next 12 months, business confidence
is likely to further increase, creating ample career opportunities for
professionals in these fields.
In terms of hiring strategies, social media is growing in popularity in
India. Employers are increasingly aware that digital assets present an
opportunity to attract new candidates to their company and are investing
in these channels. Some 68% of surveyed employers use social media as
part of the recruitment process, with LinkedIn the favoured platform for
94% of those.
The overarching sentiment in India’s employment market is one of growth,
with business leaders looking to become competitive on an international
scale. Employers and government are making positive changes towards
that goal, creating an optimistic outlook for the coming 12 months in
India’s recruitment market.

Market observations:
• Over the past 12 months, the hiring of finance professionals in India
has increased, and hiring activity remains strong into 2014. In line
with positive predictions for the domestic economy, further growth in
the finance field is expected over the next 12 months as multinational
organisations continue to enter the local markets and existing
operations expand their teams.
• The majority of hiring activity for finance professionals is currently
occurring in Mumbai as most business headquarters are located in the
city.
• Hiring is currently strongest in corporate finance and finance
controllership. Organisations are beginning to strengthen their
corporate finance teams in light of due diligence activity and ahead of
expected merger and acquisition activity. Financial Controllers with the
skills to act as business partners are also required within the finance
function.
• Professionals with experience in taxation are in high demand, as
taxation shifts from a cost centre to a profit centre and companies
look to build a talent pipeline of professionals with the relevant skills.
However, there is currently a shortage of professionals with proven
experience in this area.
• Financial planning and analysis is also a growth area, as companies
look to hire team members who can act as business partners during
a time of expansion. Those with a background in financial planning
and analysis have skills better suited to take on this responsibility than
pure accountants. Expansion plans within the manufacturing sector
are also driving this demand.
• International experience and experience working in a start-up
environment, as well as strong financial fundamentals are highly
regarded by employers in the current market. Multinational
organisations value professionals with start-up experience as they
have the skills to build operations from scratch in the region, while
international experience is preferred in order to create a company
culture that reflects international operations.

Market observations:
• Over the past 12 months there has been an increase in hiring activity
within India’s banking sector, with a high level of activity continuing
throughout 2014. This activity is expected to rise further in 2015.
• There have been notable differences in hiring activity on a regional
level, with multinational companies leading a shift away from Mumbai
as a financial services hub over the past five years. Bangalore, Pune,
Delhi NCR, Chennai and Hyderabad have emerged as the top locations
for international companies seeking a lower cost alternative to
headquarters in Mumbai. This is leading to significant hiring activity in
these cities.
• Key factors contributing to the current uplift in hiring include more
value-add onshore roles moving to India, Shared Services Centres
(SSCs) relocating from Singapore to India, and additional foreign
investment in the local banking sector.
• As international banks face increased pressure to lower their cost base,
India is being seen as an attractive location to house most value-add
roles within finance, risk, analytics, and product-based technology.
• India’s national election has led to improved sentiment in the local
economy, resulting in increased business activity and hiring. This is
being seen most clearly in investment banks, private equity and venture
capital funds and consulting firms.
• The global economy has also played a key role in increased activity in
India’s banking sector, with high levels of Foreign Institutional Investors
(FIIs) and Foreign Direct Investment seen so far in 2014.
• Most existing finance companies in India are operating with a year-on-
year growth model, increasing headcount as current teams grow
confident with existing functions. Some are adding new business units
such as product control and valuations.
• Hiring is currently strong across a number of industry areas including:
finance, analytics, risk, investment banking, private equity and venture
capital investment, real estate and management consulting.
• Multinational banks are looking to create Centres of Excellence (CoEs)
across credit and market risk in India, which is contributing to positive
growth forecasts for finance roles.
• Existing companies are strengthening their analytics and reporting
teams, creating job opportunities in those areas. The availability of
talented and qualified statisticians and analytics professionals (often
at a PhD level) at a relatively lower cost than overseas markets is
driving greater demand for Big Data and Machine Learning roles. This
is positioned to increase as more companies begin to understand the
importance of generating insights from large amounts of unstructured
data to stay ahead of the competition and capitalise on changing
consumer trends.
• Market and credit risk are key concerns for finance companies
globally, creating growth in this area locally. Introduction of new global
regulatory standards including Comprehensive Capital Analysis and
Review (CCAR) and Basel III have contributed to these
increased opportunities.
• Other roles in high demand by hiring managers include Investment
Banking Analysts and Associates in global banks, and Investment
Banking Directors in domestic institutions, Private Equity and Venture
Capital Analysts at all levels across both domestic and global firms as
well as Management Consultants and Real Estate professionals. These
roles are expected to remain in demand over the next 12 months.
• Professionals with high levels of education and experience are in
particularly high demand. Those with Masters degrees or PhD-level
qualifications in addition to significant experience in risk, regulatory
reporting and/or product control are highly sough-after.

Market observations:
• High salary increases are on offer for most professionals
changing jobs in the banking sector. Those with niche skills or in
critical roles can expect a salary up to 25-35% higher in a new
role, and a yearly increase of up to 15% in the same role. Less
business-critical roles can still command a salary hike of 20-25%
in a new role. Front office teams have seen salaries rise by 20-
25% even in the same role over the past 12 months.
• Mumbai-based professionals are currently earning 10-15% more
than their counterparts in similar roles in Delhi NCR or Bangalore,
due to the high cost of living in the city.
• A number of roles will be awarded above average salary
increases due to a shortage of quality talent in these areas. In
addition, many of these roles attract returning Indian talent, which
demands a premium salary.
• Key specialist areas positioned for an above average salary
increase include product control, treasury, regulatory reporting,
and Legal Entity Controllers in finance. Within risk, market and
credit risk will be awarded the largest salary increases. Analytics
roles in the areas of Big Data, risk analytics and Machine
Learning can also command higher salary increases. Other key
areas where salary growth is strong include investment banking,
private equity, real estate and management consulting.

Market observations:
• A number of innovative attraction and retention strategies are
beginning to emerge in India’s banking sector, including better
engagement for mid level management, enhanced communication
throughout the functional and organisational hierarchy and improved
internal mobility between functions for junior to mid level candidates.
In addition, some employees are being offered promotions that come
with financial incentives such as bonds and increasing equity offerings
in order to motivate long term commitment.
* more than one could be selected
• Companies are investing in strategies to attract returning Indians, such as
offering a defined vision for career growth in addition to higher salaries
and compensation. Businesses are also utilising international recruitment
firms to help them build va talent pipeline.
• Gender diversity remains a key concern for employers in India, with
companies implementing strategies that aim to present female employees
with the same career progression opportunities as their male counterparts.
Current approaches include improved maternity leave policies, education
programs for internal decision-makers to raise awareness and highlight
the importance of diversity, and increased consideration of female
professionals for leadership roles.

Market observations:
• Over the past 12 months, hiring activity for Human Resources (HR)
professionals has been stable across a range of industries with no
change in permanent headcount, and current hiring activity is also
stable. However, employers are expected to increase permanent
headcount over the next 12 months, with strong hiring activity
predicted due to increased confidence following the national elections.
• Highest levels of recruitment for HR professionals are currently being
seen in three locations: Mumbai, as the majority of head office spaces
are located in the area, and Bangalore and Gurgaon as more Shared
Service Centres (SSCs) are being established in these locations.
• Hiring is currently strongest within the pharmaceuticals, IT, and
manufacturing industries as multinational companies continue to enter
the market, creating new job opportunities for experienced HR talent.
In addition, merger and acquisition activity in the pharmaceuticals
industry has created movement within HR teams. IT is currently a
growth area due to an increasing number of international companies
looking at India as a location for outsourced roles in SSCs, and this is
creating a need for more HR professionals to manage hiring
and talent.
• Talent Managers and HR Business Partners are currently in high
demand as companies place increased focus on reducing turnover
rates – particularly with younger team members – via talent
management strategies and clear succession plans. Employers are
looking for HR professionals with learning and development and talent
management skills in particular, as HR professionals with these skills
can assist in increasing job satisfaction and therefore improving
staff retention.
• There has been an increase in returning Indian talent over the past 12
months, as the job market continues to show potential for growth.

Market observations:
• Salary levels have remained consistent over the past 12 months, with
little difference between geographical locations. Most HR professionals
prefer to receive a mix of financial and non-financial rewards.
• HR professionals in multi-site roles or those with an international
remit are expected to receive above average salary increases in
2014. This is due to the broader scope of these roles and experience
in global best pratices.
