Section 4 / City Distribution

Where in India this sector hires

Callout

Bangalore commands roughly three-quarters of all AI and ML platform hiring, representing the heaviest geographic concentration among all tech sectors. In contrast, Delhi NCR and Kolkata under-index significantly compared to their national averages, each accounting for only a minimal fraction of postings. The remaining opportunities are thinly distributed across secondary hubs like Hyderabad and Pune.

City distribution — share of this industry's postings by city (the seven city-page cities), with each city's share of the rest of the market and the over/under index.
