The second-most populous country in the world, the Republic of India, is home to over 1.5 billion people who occupy a variety of job sectors. Right now, some of the most popular include opportunities in information technologies, customer services, and agriculture. In addition, India is one of the four “BRIC” countries, including Brazil, China, and Russia, which are all set to see economic and industrial expansion in the near future.

These large powerhouses dominate when it comes to GDP numbers and, because of their populations, this is only expected to rise. The world should turn their heads towards India specifically, as jobs in certain sectors, especially IT and digital innovation, are providing employment opportunities for many of its citizens and growing the economy at a rapid rate.

IT and Digital Innovation

One of the biggest job-creating markets of the moment in India is the online casino and gaming industry. Online casinos provide opportunities in many tech jobs, such as graphic designing, developing, programming, analyzing, engineering, content creation, the list goes on. People from all walks of life are joining this industry, making it more attractive for anyone and everyone who would like to get introduced to the gaming sphere. The opportunities are endless, from writing specific guides to the most popular poker variants like Texas Hold’em, to designing virtual reality games that constitute a full-blown gaming immersion.

The fact is whether it’s creating games, managing internal digital help desks, or developing systems, these platforms need a range of profiles to operate on a high-level and serve their customers. The diversity of the career makes it an attractive option for people who, for example, may come from tech backgrounds but also have an eye for design. For Indian’s who may want to pursue a job in this ever-expanding market, the future of this industry is bright and secure, and interesting jobs are booming.

The Services sector

GDP distribution statistics show us that India’s services sector is driving the country’s economy in a big way. This is an umbrella sector that could include many jobs, such as food service, the retail industry, telecommunications, tourism, and more.

The food industry alone is poised for huge growth and has the possibility to attract various forms of investment, both international and domestic. For example, the global internet company Amazon plans to join the Indian food retailing sector and invest $515 million within the next five years. They have already launched a food delivery service. Consequently, employment opportunities are expected to be created for transportation of services and overall security.

India’s retail industry also contributes to the country’s rising GDP and is continuing to grow with the help of many companies entering the market, as well as the diversity in labor opportunities which make it an interesting option. Even the tourism sector has created many jobs over the last few years, with diverse opportunities such as becoming an income auditor for hotels offering a change of pace from other, more conventional customer service positions that require people skills and constant social interaction.

It’s no surprise that working in India’s agriculture and farming sector is and always has been one of the main ways that local people make a living. Over half of India’s workforce is employed here, but you may be surprised to know that employees aren’t just tending to crops and packaging products. People also perform different duties under this sector.

For example, agriculture engineers are needed to help design and build farming equipment that speeds up the manufacturing process, as well as to construct drainage and irrigation services throughout land areas.

In fact, some top universities in India like the Indian Institute of Technology at Kharagpur and the Anand Agricultural University at Gujarat offer degrees for people who desire to take this career path. This is a great sector to enter in to as a young adult and expand from within the industry, as there are a variety of opportunities depending on your interests and skills.
