Emerging Talent Hubs in IndiA: Hyderabad
Real Estate Pune:The Indian job market is undergoing a significant transformation, with Tier 2 and satellite cities like Hyderabad, Navi Mumbai, and Pune emerging as dynamic talent hubs. According to a report by KPMG in India, these cities are gaining prominence alongside the developing metro, driven by factors such as talent availability, government support, infrastructure development, and cost considerations.

The report highlights that 90% of companies leveraging the talent pool of satellite cities like Navi Mumbai and Gurugram are highly satisfied with the outcomes. Cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru attract talent from diverse industries, exhibiting the highest concentration. However, Hyderabad, Navi Mumbai, and Pune are rising to meet the growing demands and emerging as potential hubs for recruiters seeking diverse talent with critical skill sets.

The nature of work influences organizations' decision criteria, with Tier 2 cities often housing transactional and doer roles, while tactical and transformational roles are located near headquarters, primarily in Tier 1 cities and some satellite cities. The report found that 90% of companies believe that tapping into the talent pool of satellite cities has been highly beneficial for organizations, enabling them to broaden their talent base and attract high-quality candidates who seek opportunities close to their families and support networks.

Candidates now prefer office campuses that offer desirable features, including modern facilities, amenities like cafeterias and recreational spaces, state-of-the-art health and fitness clubs, a commitment to sustainability, and excellent connectivity infrastructure. These factors play a crucial role in attracting top-tier talent by providing a fulfilling work environment and promoting well-being, productivity, and work-life balance.

The report also highlights that Hyderabad, Navi Mumbai, and Pune rank amongst the top 3 in terms of overall quality of living. Chennai, Navi Mumbai, and Pune excel in safety, attracting those seeking secure environments. Emphasizing safety fosters inclusive work cultures that attract diverse talent, boosting overall success and reputation.
