India’s middle class is facing a crisis as automation and AI disrupt routine jobs like clerical and supervisory roles. Saurabh Mukherjea, founder of Marcellus Investment Managers, warns that the middle class is becoming a casualty of technological change, with stagnating IT jobs, dwindling campus placements, and declining sales of FMCG goods and entry-level cars. Economic challenges worsen the situation, with household debt rising, savings at a 50-year low, and corporate earnings in Q2 FY25 seeing their worst slump in two decades. FMCG giants like Nestlé and Hindustan Unilever report slowing urban spending due to shrinking middle-class purchasing power. Mukherjea calls for urgent action, urging leaders to prioritize this critical demographic before AI and economic shifts cause further devastation. #TechNews #InnovationUpdate #AIRevolution #TechIndustry #BreakingTech #tech #news Website: www.suryavanshi.io

Today's thought --- India’s economy is evolving at an unprecedented pace, driven by advancements in technology, global integration, and a surge in entrepreneurial ventures. As a recruitment professional with 12 years of experience, I see this transformation as both exciting and challenging. I’ve seen firsthand how industries like fintech, e-commerce, and Digital Marketing are not only reshaping the job market but also creating new types of roles that never existed before. For instance, a few years ago, the demand for data scientists and data engineer or Prompt experts was almost non-existent in my early days, but now they are some of the most sought-after skills. Companies are no longer just looking for degrees; they’re prioritizing skills, adaptability, and a growth mindset. This shift has also amplified the need for diversity, inclusivity, and innovation in hiring practices. However, rapid change comes with its challenges—bridged the skill gap, adapting to AI-driven recruitment, and managing the expectations of a workforce that values flexibility and purpose. For me, navigating these changes means staying ahead of industry trends, continuously learning, and fostering connections that drive impactful hiring decisions. It’s been a thrilling journey, and each challenge has made me more resilient as a professional. It’s exciting to be part of an economy that’s not just growing but transforming lives and industries alike. What’s your take on this? Have you noticed similar changes in your field? --- #RecruitmentProfessional #IndianEconomy #TalentAcquisition #GrowthAndOpportunity

🌟 The Future of Hiring: Skills Over Degrees 🌟 The hiring landscape in India is undergoing a transformative shift! According to the World Economic Forum's Jobs Report 2025, 30% of Indian employers are moving towards skills-based hiring, dropping traditional degree requirements. This figure significantly surpasses the global average of 19%, signaling India’s commitment to evolving workforce dynamics. The driving force behind this trend?

78 Million New Jobs by 2030? But Here’s the Problem No One’s Talking About!🧐 The World Economic Forum’s 2025 report predicts 78 million new jobs by 2030. But there’s a huge catch. - While new opportunities are emerging, millions of jobs will also disappear. 92 million roles will be displaced due to technology and automation. The real challenge is bridging the growing skills gap before it’s too late! Technology, AI, and data science are where the majority of new jobs lie. But essential roles like delivery drivers and educators will also see growth. Meanwhile, roles like cashiers and administrative assistants are being wiped out. AI is reshaping industries faster than we can adapt to it. - 40% of skills will need to evolve by 2030, yet most aren’t prepared. - 63% of employers already cite the skills gap as a significant barrier. - By 2030, 59% of workers will require reskilling, but many won’t receive it. As AI continues to take over, 41% of employers plan workforce reductions. ♻️ The clock’s ticking. Are you ready for the future of work? Share your thoughts and repost this with your network!
