The changing market scenario across the globe and the growing significance of emerging markets like India & China has led to many global corporates including these countries, in their growth and workforce strategies. This will have a positive impact and increase our growth momentum.
While there is positivity in the air, we as market leader also envisage an urgent demand to address, the biggest challenge of “Employability” that is threatening the growth. I do hope that steps will be taken in the right direction by both the government and the industry to address this issue quickly and effectively.”
