AI is reshaping hiring faster than it creates entry-level jobs
What’s happening
About 85% of Indian organizations say AI is transforming hiring in FY26 (up from 79%), but only 35% report new early-career roles or skills, and campus pay has grown only 2-4% a year since FY22 against 7-9% annual raises across India Inc.
What to do
Offer AI-readiness and career-resilience sessions for early-career employees and their managers.
