What Ingrid is

Ingrid reads the job postings of companies that hire software engineers in India, and explains what they show: who hires, for which roles, with which skills, and what is changing. It is written as pages to read, not as a database to search.

The site is organised two ways:

• By employer. Five kinds of companies hire engineers in India: big tech, global capability centres (GCCs), product companies, IT services firms, and staffing firms and hiring platforms. Each has its own pages. Story pages explain what a company or a group of companies does. Hiring pages explain who it hires, which skills it asks for, and what is changing.
• By role. One page per role, from Java backend engineers to chip designers: the skills the role asks for, and where it is hired.

The top of the home page carries what moved in the latest quarter, drawn from the hiring pages.

What Ingrid is not

Ingrid is not a job board, a course platform or a mentorship service. It does not rank employers, and it does not tell anyone what to want. It describes what employers ask for in their postings, so the decision stays with the reader.

Who it is for

Engineers and students deciding which role, skills or employers to aim for, and anyone else who needs to understand software hiring in India.

Reading Ingrid

Any page opened from a search is free to read in full. A free account, made by signing in with Google, opens every page, links included, for five minutes once an hour. Members read without limit. The passes and their prices are on the membership page.

Where the readings come from

Every reading on the site comes from job postings, sorted by employer, role, skill, seniority and city, and compared across employers and across quarters. Ingrid reports shares and comparisons rather than raw counts. The full method is on the methodology page.

Who makes it

Ingrid is made by Gridilytic Pvt. Ltd., a small team in Bangalore with roots in engineering, product and the inner workings of how hiring happens at scale. We are ex-LinkedIn, IIT Madras and Kellogg, but mostly we care about getting this right.

We built Ingrid because most advice about software careers in India is opinion, secondhand and impossible to check. AI has made the question harder: nobody can say exactly what it will do to software work. Nobody can predict the future, but the clearest way to read where hiring is heading is to look closely at where it has been and where it is now. The postings show that.
