For the technologist, Bengaluru is the place to grow. If you are into finance, move to Mumbai.

Our agents read 250+ MNC career pages this month and pulled close to 15,000 job openings from those career pages. Below is the data.

Industry	Openings	Bengaluru	Hyderabad	Mumbai	Delhi NCR	Pune	Chennai	Outside the big six
Consulting & Professional Services	5,785	37.4%	16.6%	8.4%	14.3%	8.6%	6.7%	8.0%

If you are an engineer, target Bengaluru and Hyderabad

Those two cities hold 78.8% of technology openings between them. Mumbai holds 2.9%. 19 technology employers posted Mumbai roles against 49 in Bengaluru. A Mumbai office is a satellite and a Bengaluru office is the engine.

These employers are looking for Python (356), computer science fundamentals (255), artificial intelligence (229), C++ (187), electrical engineering (135), Java (120), design verification (70), parallel computing (62).

The old evergreen languages and subjects, electrical engineering, design verification and parallel computing, belong to chip and systems work, and Bengaluru is aggressively hiring for that.

If you are in finance, then Mumbai. But if you want a job in retail banking, move to your favourite tier 2 city.

Front-office finance will always be Mumbai. Morgan Stanley posts 80% of its India roles there, and only 16% of them are technology roles. The rest is the finance floor itself. CRISIL is 59% Mumbai, Deutsche Bank 41.5%, JP Morgan 35.4%. If you want to learn how money actually moves in the banking system, there is no other place other than facing the floors (and the rains!) of Mumbai.

Mumbai is hiring for the following investment banking roles: banking products (156), mutual funds (57), risk management (55), portfolio management (46), wealth management (44), compliance requirements (43), investment banking (41).

The GCCs of the banks are hiring in Pune followed by Bengaluru. Barclays' largest India metro is Pune, and 72% of its openings carry a technical title. BNY Mellon is Pune at 67% technical. JP Morgan's largest is Bengaluru at 56%. Wells Fargo and BNY Mellon put every India role in this batch outside Mumbai.

The skills there are Python (120), regulatory compliance (109), SQL (92), Java (78), software engineering (66), Tableau (50). A bank in Bengaluru is actually a software company, because they are GCC (backend development and office work) and it hires like one.

If you are okay in retail banking, you can have a decent job in any tier 2 city. 42.4% of BFSI openings sit outside metros: 2,107 roles, more than the entire national technology total of 1,701. Those postings ask for banking products (846), customer engagement (578), loans (378), mutual funds (360), cross-selling (349) and general insurance (241).

The rest of the map

Consulting is the largest industry at 39.0% of all openings and behaves like technology: 37.4% Bengaluru, then Hyderabad at 16.6%. Manufacturing is the only row where Pune genuinely competes, at 15.6%. Consumer and retail is Mumbai's strongest row at 19.0%.
