In 38,138 active India roles, BFSI and consulting hold 18,698 — nearly 3× pure tech. A free June 2026 breakdown, and the one employer that tops them all.
The single biggest employer in India's job data this month is Siemens, with 1,755 active roles. Not a bank. Not a pure-tech firm. And the pattern above Siemens is the real story: across 38,138 active India roles read from company career pages, BFSI holds 9,941 and consulting and professional services holds 8,757. Together, 18,698 roles. The technology sector everyone writes about sits at 6,318. Services out-hire tech by nearly three to one.
The demand didn't vanish. It changed address.
TL;DR
BFSI (9,941) + consulting (8,757) = 18,698 roles, against 6,318 for technology — a 2.96× gap.
The largest single employer is Siemens (1,755), ahead of Cognizant (1,705), Axis Bank (1,338), Accenture (1,325) and Wipro (998).
Banks fill the next tier: DBS 978, EY 970, State Street 968, Barclays 951, Wells Fargo 874.
Bengaluru holds ~10,000 roles, more than one in four of the whole dataset.

Read the top two rows as one block. Global banks staff engineering, data and risk inside their India captive centres, and IT-services giants sell that same talent to everyone else. Much of this "services" hiring is technical work wearing a services badge. Apply only to product-tech companies and you fish the third-deepest pond while reading it as an empty sea.
What this means for you
Early-career (0–3 yrs). Consulting is your biggest entry pool at 8,757 roles. Target analyst openings at Cognizant, Accenture and EY over a scarce product-company seat.
Mid-career (3–10 yrs). BFSI captive centres want your tech, data and risk skills. A software engineer moving into Barclays or Wells Fargo India makes a lateral move, not a downgrade.
Senior (10+ yrs). Every firm in this table is now building agent systems. That is where the scarce, well-paid work is heading, and it's tomorrow's issue.
This week: pull five roles from the top two sectors that match your skills, and check how your CV maps before you apply anywhere else.
Myro's jobs dataset, active roles read from company career pages, scrape window 27 April to 29 June 2026: 38,138 active roles across employers and industries, India-weighted. Industry tags are per employer and per posting, so a global bank's tech centre counts under BFSI. Role and city counts are point-in-time; coverage is heavier in India than elsewhere. A snapshot, not a complete census.
Coming Tuesday
Skill of the Week: Loop Engineering. Zero postings in this dataset use the term. Thirty already say "AI Agent Monitoring." The job exists; the market just hasn't named it yet. Tuesday, we name it.

BFSI (banking, financial services, insurance) leads with 9,941 active roles, and consulting and professional services follows at 8,757. Together they hold 18,698 roles against 6,318 for the technology sector — nearly a 3× gap. Based on 38,138 active India roles read from company career pages between 27 April and 29 June 2026.
Who is the biggest single employer hiring in India right now?
Siemens, with 1,755 active roles — ahead of Cognizant (1,705), Axis Bank (1,338) and Accenture (1,325). The single largest employer in the data is an industrial firm, not a bank or a pure-tech company.
Is the technology sector still hiring in India?
Yes, at 6,318 active roles, but it is the third-largest pond, not the first. Much of the real tech demand sits inside banks and consultancies — global banks' India captive centres and IT-services firms staffing engineering, data and risk roles.
Which city leads India hiring in 2026?
Bengaluru, with roughly 10,000 of the 38,138 active roles — more than one in four. Hyderabad (2,810), Mumbai (2,413) and Pune (2,304) follow.
