Feeny is tracking about 5,821 open tech roles across India, from roughly 645 companies hiring. Every listing comes straight from a company's own careers page, so a role that shows up here is one they're actually staffing right now, not a repost. India runs one of the largest software-engineering job markets on earth, and the volume shows it. Filter by city or discipline to cut it down to what you want. ### Which cities in India have the most tech jobs? Bengaluru is the clear center of gravity and usually posts more openings than anywhere else in the country. Mumbai and the Delhi region, especially Gurugram, sit close behind, with Hyderabad, Pune, and Chennai each carrying real weight of their own. That spread is unusual for a country its size, since most nations funnel tech into one metro. Across the 8 India cities we index, Bengaluru leads but the work is genuinely distributed. ### What companies are hiring for tech roles in India? Homegrown players are scaling hard: PhonePe, Razorpay, and Meesho are all hiring engineers at pace. The other big employer story is the global capability center, where firms like Databricks, Okta, and Zscaler run large engineering offices in India rather than just support desks. That means you can join a fast Indian startup or a US company's core engineering team without leaving the country. Feeny lists roles from about 645 companies, so the live set is worth checking directly. ### What kinds of tech roles are common in India? The dominant category is software engineering at scale, since so much of the world's product work is built and maintained here. Fintech is the other heavyweight, with PhonePe and Razorpay pulling in payments and backend engineers. Platform and data roles are everywhere too, driven by the global capability centers that need people to run systems for their parent companies abroad. The common thread is depth of engineering talent rather than one narrow specialty. ### What is it like to work in tech in India? India offers something few markets can match: enormous scale, so you can build products used by hundreds of millions and move between fast startups and global engineering teams without relocating. Cost of living is low by global standards, though Bengaluru and Mumbai housing has climbed as the industry grew. The pace can be intense and competition for the best roles is fierce, given how deep the talent pool runs. The honest trade is that the sheer size of the workforce means standing out takes real work. ### Can international candidates get a work visa to work in tech in India? India mostly hires from its own vast domestic talent pool rather than importing engineers, so foreign relocation into a tech role is uncommon. If you do come in, you'll need an Employment Visa, which is tied to a specific job and carries a minimum salary floor, and it's rarely granted for junior positions. In practice this is a market you're far more likely to join as local talent than to move into from abroad. Be realistic: the opportunity here is real, but it's built for people already in the country. --- _Source: https://feeny.ai/location/india_
