Semiconductor Design GCC Talent Demand Analysis Report: Q1 FY 2026

Our latest report on India’s Semiconductor Design GCCs provides a sharper lens on talent shifts in this strategically vital sector. While open positions saw a 22% decline in Q1 FY2026 compared with Q1 FY2025, this dip signals recalibration rather than slowdown — the long-term outlook remains strong with government backing and global investments.
