New Delhi: India’s information technology sector (IT) remained a net employer in FY26, adding around 1.35 lakh jobs, the government told the Parliament on Wednesday. The job growth counters the general fear that automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are causing widespread layoffs. A recent report said that nearly 30 per cent of Indian workers felt their jobs are secure, placing India third globally and highest in the Asia Pacific region, in job security. Across APAC, only 18 per cent of respondents felt that their jobs are safe, the report from ADP Research said. Knowledge workers (37 per cent) are approximately twice as likely to report confidence compared to skilled tasks (18 per cent) and repetitive task workers (17 per cent).
