AI & ML Platforms

Section 1 / Overview

Which way this sector's hiring is moving

AI infrastructure, model platforms, and applied ML products.

AI and ML platforms covers the companies building model-training infrastructure, applied machine-learning products, and the tools that move models into production. The employers are a mix of research-adjacent product firms and the global technology companies standing up dedicated AI teams in their India centers. It is one of the newer sector labels on the platform, drawing far more on engineering than on support roles.

Section 4 / City Distribution

Where in India this sector hires

Callout

Bangalore takes around three quarters of AI and ML platform hiring, the heaviest concentration of any industry in the set. Kolkata barely registers, well short of its national share. Delhi NCR also falls short of its usual weight, holding only a very small share here. Everything outside the lead city splinters into thin pools.

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.
