Delhi overtakes Mumbai in the Job Market in India

The capital city of Delhi has now overtaken Mumbai as the top job creator in the country. Expectedly, most of these jobs are now coming from the IT and IT-enabled sector.

The study was conducted by industry chamber Assocham who tracked 6,175 job placements in first two months of 2006. The research found out that the employers in Delhi advertised for 1,495 vacancies, followed by Mumbai with 1,344 placements.

A similar study conducted last year found Mumbai to be the biggest job creator in the country. Bangalore came in the third spot in the latest research results with around 19 per cent of the total placement tracked. It holds the distinction for creating maximum opportunities in the high-end IT jobs.

Chennai was fourth with as many as 623 employment offers. The research paper said: “Within IT and ITeS sector, even though the BPOs were leading with 57 per cent of the 2,579 positions in the sample survey, the recruitment in software services have also bounced back and companies are on a hiring spree.”
