The services industry not only accounts for the major chunk of India’s GDP, but it has also attracted substantial foreign investment, contributed significantly to export, and created enormous numbers of jobs. The services sector in India covers a wide range of activities, including IT/ITES, logistics, financing, insurance, real estate, commercial services, community, public, and construction-related services.
The Indian government recognizes the importance of encouraging growth in the services sector and offers a number of incentives in areas such as health care, communications, transportation, information technology, banking, finance, tourism, education, engineering, and management.
Continued growth in this industry has created significant demand for a skilled workforce from entry-level jobs to executive level.
