The economic outlook for India is positive, as economic activity gathered momentum in the last quarter of 2020 going into the first two months of 2021. There is increased confidence that the country is not headed for a recession and GDP growth is looking positive in the third and fourth quarters of 2021, boosted by a growth-oriented budget and a better controlled COVID-19 situation.

Hiring activity has experienced an upward trend over the last six months as organizations stabilized their operations. The nationwide vaccination rollout is boosting confidence for a return to the workplace.
