How to read this. The four figures at the top count the week itself — 23–29 August 2026 — the postings and employers that entered the data in it. The rankings are the standing shares Ingrid published at that moment: each is a share of postings over the four weeks ending 22 August 2026, and the change column compares it with a month earlier, in percentage points. The two periods differ on purpose — a week is only counted once it has closed, so the rankings run to the week before this one. Every figure is derived from parsed Indian software job postings.
