Artificial intelligence jobs in India have surged by 60%, according to a recent LinkedIn report, with cities beyond the traditional tech hubs joining the race. While Bengaluru and Hyderabad remain top destinations for AI talent, Vijayawada is now emerging as a significant player in the AI job market.
The report highlights a dramatic increase in demand for AI specialists, machine learning engineers, and data scientists across various sectors. Experts attribute this growth to rapid digital transformation and increased investment in AI technologies by Indian companies.
“The AI job market is expanding beyond metropolises,” said an industry analyst. “Tier-2 cities like Vijayawada are benefiting from remote work and local startup ecosystems. This trend is likely to continue as more companies adopt AI-driven solutions.”
The findings indicate that roles in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics have seen the highest growth, with entry-level to senior positions being filled at a record pace. LinkedIn data shows that job postings requiring AI skills have grown by 60% year-over-year, making it one of the fastest-growing sectors in India’s tech industry.
