India is expected to require 22 million skilled workers in 5G-focused industries such as cloud computing, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT) by 2025, according to a joint analysis by the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC) and Draup. The country currently faces a telecom demand-supply gap of 2.41 million, which is expected to jump to 3.8 times by 2030. The report titled “Telecom Talent in 5G Era: Demand Supply Skill Gap Report 2023-24” states that the total number of employed talent in the Indian telecom industry is currently 11.59 million, with 2.95 million corporate talent and 8.24 million blue-collar talent. Arvind Bali, CEO of Telecom Sector Skill Council, said that the country has a good chance to close the growing demand-supply mismatch by 2030 with the proper reskilling and hiring strategies.
