Section 4 / City Distribution

Where in India this sector hires

Callout

Bangalore takes around two-thirds of edtech hiring. Pune sits well below its national share, at a very small share. Hyderabad falls short too. Delhi NCR is the surprise, running above its usual weight at well over a tenth and outpacing the larger southern hubs here.

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.
