Demand for skilled electric vehicle talent is poised to reach an all-time high in 2024 as EV manufacturers race to meet the growing appetite for green mobility solutions through new products and capacity expansion, said experts at Deloitte and Careernet and company executives.
Homegrown EV and EV component makers such as Switch Mobility, EKA Mobility, GreenCell and ARENQ are anticipating the talent to reach as high as 200%. This is leading companies such as Tata Motors, the country’s largest EV maker, to tap entry-level talent from technical colleges and lateral talent from automotive and related industries. In addition, these companies are also fulfilling the robust demand by reskilling the existing workforce, said the executives.
According to Careernet Technologies, a talent solutions firm, nearly 600,000 jobs were created in 2023, doubling from the previous year. “This is expected to grow 120-130% in 2024,” said Anshuman Das, chief executive, Careernet.
