A Research Study on “Changing Paradigms of Employability

in IT industry of India

Dear Colleague

I am a HR professional with above two decades of experience in IT Industry. As part of contributing to the thought leadership to our industry, fraternity, and country, I have taken up a research  to study the changing phenomenon of “employability “as a result of what is called “Fourth Industrial Revolution “driven by disruptive technological advancements like digital and automation revolution in IT Industry and propose a framework called “Talent Refactoring” to ensure sustained workforce readiness and sustained employability.

As you may know, IT was India’s sunrise industry post 1970’s which catapulted Indian talent to the global leadership stage. Indian IT Talent pool is considered the largest and one of the best in the world and Indian IT companies possesses more than 55 % of Global IT market share.

With our demographic advantage of being a country which has the largest young talent pool in the world we have the potential to be an global leader in this industry which is expected to be valued at 350 Million US$ and potential to employ 15 million talents by 2022. However Indian IT Industry is passing through a mid-phase crisis (or let us view it as Transformational opportunity), due to vanishing cost arbitrage, low margins in traditional business, huge and sudden skill redundancy caused by Digital Technology revolution and new geopolitical challenges affecting business and services. We have a urgent need to ensure that our huge talent pool is urgently “Refactored and repurposed “to meet the demands of a digital era to sustain our leadership position in IT

The Objective of this research is to identify those key dimensions which influence the “employability” of talent pool amidst these new rapidly changing industrial era. This would help the Industry, Human Capital functions and Educational Policy makers to monitor these dimensions and initiate suitable reforms / interventions/ policy guidelines to groom a “future ready “and “malleable” workforce for the future IT Industry of India. It would also be a guideline for career aspirants in the “dynamic” IT industry to keep themselves relevant and employable

As a successful IT professional in digital space, and first generation of digital immigrants or digital natives you have lived through this era and your inputs to this study would be extremely valuable to evolve a comprehensive program to groom a “future ready “workforce for our industry and country

I request you to fill the questionnaire with due care and interest to express your true and sincere views .  I gurantee you that the info you share would be highly confidential and that the data collected will be used only for academic research purpose. Please don’t go by “diplomatically or politically right “or “expected “answers. There is NO right or wrong answer and you are not going to be evaluated in any way by this. We are trying to identify the most accurate answers based on which we can study the phenomenon. This would be a great contribution from your side to enhance the boundaries of our knowledge this area.

This questionnaire has 10 sections  It should take you a maximum up to 30 minutes . Thank you in advance again for sparing your valuable time. Your contributions for this research would be appropriately acknowledged

Thanks and Regards,
Lakshminarayanan K V
