Hyderabad Stands Close 2nd In Top List Of Global Cities Attracting Tech Talent

LinkedIn analyzed its 300 million member profiles across the world to understand which economies are attracting technology talent. The analysis revealed that the top four cities drawing tech talent are from India: Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad and Chennai.

The technology industry is one of the primary growth engines of the economy and with rapid growth comes demand for skilled workers to fill the increasing number of open positions at various companies within the sector. Governments around the world including India are investing in ways that attract technology talent to their cities.                  

Moreover, India’s startup scene has evolved a great deal over the last two years, following the global trends in cloud, mobile and digital startups. The three most popular categories of skills among the surveyed members were: IT Infrastructure and Systems Management (e.g. ITIL, Active Directory, Disaster Recovery, Enterprise Architecture, etc.) Java Development (e.g. Java, Eclipse, JSP, Spring, etc.) Web Programming (e.g. HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, jQuery, etc.)

“As LinkedIn continues to build the World Economic Graph, a digital map of the global economy, we’ll be able to monitor the growth of sectors such as technology with increasing speed and in greater detail. The incredible opportunity that India can provide to economies around the world is evident from the fact that half of the top 10 global cities with technical skills are from India. Matching the tech needs of companies around the world with the talent in India, is a great and tangible illustration of the win-win value to be had from creating the world’s first economic graph,” said Nishant Rao, Country Manager, LinkedIn India.
