Additionally, roles in IT, Engineering, Office Services, and blue-collar professions also make substantial contributions. This diversity in demand reflects the industry's commitment to fostering a holistic hiring approach while fortifying and streamlining critical operations for long-term success.

Another significant factor contributing to the sector's growth is the ICC Cricket World Cup hosted by India. The Mastercard report reveals the multiplier effect of this global sporting event on India's economy, particularly emphasizing the notable contributions made by the accommodation and food industries. The event drew cricket enthusiasts from around the world, underscoring the broader impact of sporting and cultural events on both national and local economic landscapes.

Balasubramanian A, VP & Business Head of TeamLease Services, commented on the report, stating that the Indian hospitality and tourism industry has witnessed robust growth in 2023 predominantly due to heightened domestic travel. He added that this growth is expected to positively affect not only the hospitality industry but also adjacent sectors such as travel, aviation, ticket purchasing, and travel guides in terms of expanding their workforces. The hosting of the Cricket World Cup this year has been a significant factor in boosting the demand for workers in this segment.

The report underscores that a substantial 68% of employers are interested in incremental workforce expansion, indicating the sector's growth opportunities. Mumbai remains a pivotal city, while other cities like Chandigarh and Delhi consistently commit to talent acquisition.
