WILL JOB
GENERATION
RISE IN 2013?

managing partner, Antal International Network:
    “Yes, net job generation in 2013 would surely rise. Healthcare and life sciences have committed to an increase in headcount in 2013. FMCG is investing in new projects and targeting growth in business and headcounts. IT at the moment seems to be unsure of increased hiring; however, the sector will need to keep pace with last year.”
UMAIR MUHAJIR,
vice president and global head - Litigation Solutions, Pangea3:
    “The answer will vary from industry to industry. Specialised areas such as Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) have been seeing demand in source countries’surge over the last few years,and the structural factors driving this growth are expected to continue pace in 2013.However,industries that are dependent on the domestic Indian market might see some slackening in job generation.”
MARIA NIRMALA,
head - India content and research, SHRM India:
    “The job generation in 2013 will definitely rise not only due to entrants in the formal workforce, but also because of an increase in flexibility and entrepreneurial opportunities.”
