“We saw jobs in the BFSI sector growing at 25.2% in February 2022, indicating the potential of the industry in India. However, the decline in job postings in 2023 suggest that the industry may be reaching a point of stability rather than rapid growth. Given a relatively challenging economic environment and punctuated by high inflation, India's BFSI labour market remains pretty healthy as compared to other matured markets in the world," said Sashi Kumar, head of sales, Indeed India.
The need for qualified experts will probably increase in the sector over the coming several quarters as the banking and finance industry continue to evolve technologically, Kumar added.

Additionally, the job postings grew by 9.7% during February 2022 to February 2023 and 11.5% in 2021. The period from February 2021 to February 2022 saw the highest growth in job postings (25.2%).
