From 900 companies in 2019, 14,000+ companies embraced this flexible form of hiring in 2022 and the number is set to rise much higher.
India is currently the most preferred offshore hiring destination for global employers. The country has 6.5 million tech and digital talents and consistently generates a large number of ready-to-onboard talents every year. By 2030, India will be the only nation with a surplus of human talents, while other popular regions like LatAm, East EU, and East Asia will have far less skilled talents with high salary expectations.
