Festive Hiring Eases to 20% in 2025, But Still Adds 2.16 Lakh Jobs
India’s festive hiring seems to be settling into a slower rhythm as the growth rate of gig workers demand, which touched 45% year-on-year in 2021, has steadily eased over the past five years. In 2025, festive hiring is expected to rise only by 15-20% Y-o-Y, which will create over 2.16 lakh temporary roles across sectors, according to Balasubramanian A, senior vice president at TeamLease Services.
