Bengaluru, March 3
India's job market is witnessing a significant shift, with job opportunities for women soaring by 48 per cent in 2025 compared to the previous year, a new report said on Monday.
The remarkable growth is largely driven by demand in key sectors such as information technology (IT), banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), manufacturing, and healthcare, alongside a rise in demand for specialised talent in emerging technology roles.
According to the report from foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), around 25 per cent of the jobs available to women in 2025 are for freshers. This suggests that early-career professionals are in high demand, especially in sectors like IT, human resources (HR), and marketing.
In terms of experience, the largest share of jobs for women falls in the 0-3 years category (53 per cent), followed by 4-6 years (32 per cent). Industries such as IT/computers - software, which accounts for 34 per cent of women's jobs, continue to dominate, the report added.
Other notable sectors include recruitment/staffing/RPO, BFSI, and advertising/PR/events, with increasing job opportunities for women in these fields.
