The Indian telecom sector continues its stable trajectory in workforce demand, with fresher hiring intent standing at 45% in the first half of 2025, according to a report on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The report (based on HY1, that is, January-June 2025) by TeamLease EdTech showed that telecom remains a significant employment generator as the sector rapidly transitions to 5G networks, cloud-native architecture, and enhanced cyber resilience.<\/p>\n
While the sector witnessed a marginal decline from the 48% freshers hiring intent reported in the previous half-year (July-December 2024), the momentum remains robust, driven by demand for specialised roles like radiofrequency (RF) engineers, network security analysts, and field technical engineers. <\/p>\n
Cities like Delhi, Ahmedabad, Coimbatore, Bangalore, Mumbai, Nagpur, Hyderabad Kolkata, and Indore are seeing a high demand for these roles.<\/p>\n
Freshers can find varied opportunities in the sector but with domain-specific skills, particularly in network security, cloud computing, and DevOps.<\/p>\n
Essential tech tools like project management software and task-tracking platforms are also considered vital by employers to streamline complex network deployment and management functions.<\/p>\n
“Though the sector is expanding, employers are not just hiring to scale operations. They wish to future-proof their networks with specialized talent. This is where freshers with targeted certifications in RF, cybersecurity, and cloud ecosystems stand out,” said Shantanu Rooj, Founder and CEO of TeamLease Edtech. <\/p>\n
“We’re also seeing telecom roles blend with IT and data functions, creating hybrid job profiles that didn’t exist a few years ago. It’s a signal for academic institutions to realign curriculum and for aspirants to skill up with agility,” Rooj added.<\/p>\n
Besides technical skills, aspirants also need to focus on associated soft skills, including analytical reasoning, adaptability, and interpersonal communication.<\/p>\n
The report comes ahead of World Telecom Day, observed every year on May 17, to increase global awareness about the societal changes brought by the internet and new technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
