In India, companies across sectors have been cutting corners and much reluctantly announcing job cuts, pay cuts for hundreds of thousands of employees. But all hope is not gone. Many in India have announced their plans to hire and the tech community is the latest to join in to say they have big plans for the year despite the challenges from the coronavirus pandemic. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="75525940" title="Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, EY and other top audit firms hiring this week" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> India’s first gaming unicorn Dream11 is looking to hire 250 people over the year. The parent company Dream Sports has already hired 80 since January 2020 and is employing across brands like Dream11 (over 180 positions), FanCode and DreamX. The majority of the hiring is for technology, design and product teams. Another unicorn Icertis – the contract management startup is looking to hire 180 people over the year. Monish Darda, co-founder &amp; CTO of Icertis, believes that this is the time when companies can sit up and turn things around. “Even if you look in the past, even though the crisis has not been something like Covid19, companies that have been fundamentally strong and have entered the crisis with a lot of dry powder, have done extremely well while coming out of it. We have been fortunate because we raised funds also last year,” Darda told Business Insider. He added that once you have moved past the first few stages of the crisis, you think of how you can be more fundamentally strong in terms of business processes. “For us this is an opportunity to grow and identify which areas of the business are not affected and grow in that direction, so we have positions open across the board,” he said. Virtual internships begin For thousands of graduates of colleges, this was the time to join their campus placement or an internship. While many companies had cancelled offers, some companies are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/goldman-sachs-reliance-samsung-and-others-onboarding-interns-virtually-during-the-lockdown/articleshow/75526863.cms">now onboarding virtual interns. </a> Walmart Labs, the innovation wing of Walmart, which has announced that it will hire 2800 employees in India has also been actively hiring interns virtually. Indian ride hailing unicorn Ola too has been bringing on board its campus internship recruitments. Ola bets heavy on its internship programs. In fact, one of its most popular features – Ola Auto was actually suggested by an intern. <div type="image" title="Rohit&amp;#39;s session_Intern induction" msid="75551773" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Ola&amp;#39;s virtual intern induction session&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> “We have virtually onboarded 38 candidates from prestigious MBA schools like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, FMS, XLRI among others as part of our internship program working across verticals like mobility, electric mobility, financial services and international business,” Rohit Munjal.

Yet, Samir Bodas and Monish Darda took a risky ride on the barely-there cloud technology wave. Today, their unicorn startup generates over $100 million in revenue. Icertis was founded in 2009, and got unicorn status in September last year after Azim Premji’s Premji Invest and US-based VC firm Greycroft invested in it. The startup offers contract management services on cloud, and has over 160 odd customers from around the world. The Serendipity of a startup But Bodas believes there has been a lot of ‘serendipity’ involved in the making of Icertis. Bodas, a former <keyword id="10387" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Microsoft">Microsoft</keyword> employee, was mulling over building his fifth startup having sold two of them for millions of dollars. “You see, once you have been an entrepreneur, you become unemployable. Bigger companies don’t want to hire you because you are too much of a renegade. They want the entrepreneur within you but on a leash. So, the only thing to do next is to start another startup,” Bodas told Business Insider. With no product in mind, he and Darda got together with just one hypothesis – to be a large successful software company, you have to create a technology wave or ride one. “Creating a technology wave is hard, that’s what people like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk have done. So, we decided to find the right technology wave to ride,” he said. The first customer- Microsoft Bodas is based out of Seattle which is also home to two of the four biggest cloud companies – Microsoft and Amazon. In the early 2000s, it was still in its nascent stage. It was at a party with a former Microsoft colleague, Bodas happened to mention their interest in cloud. “He said ‘why don’t you do something on contract management, you build it on the Microsoft platform and we will be the first customer’... That’s how we started Icertis,” said Bodas, By 2014, they had closed in on a bunch of customers – Johnson and Johnson, Genpact etc. One thing led to another, and in 2015 they raised their first round of funding. By 2019, they were a unicorn with over a billion dollars in value. Doubling revenues in 2019 Back home in India, Bodas sees a massive opportunity in cloud. They already have customers like Infosys, Wipro, Cognizant, Airtel and Genpact to name a few. “Cloud adoption for the leading companies in India is substantial because really there’s no option left. There’s a massive opportunity here. In 2019, our revenue in the Asia Pacific region grew by 230%,” said Bodas. Icertis now plans to invest in building new technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence and machine learning. “The idea of implementing AI and ML into reading contract data has massive potential,” he said. It also plans to expand to Japan and China. Its R&amp;D centre in Pune itself is looking to hire over 400 people. “We are very focused on growth, but more so on having fun. We doubled our revenue in 2019 over 2018. We are confident of keeping up with the pace of growth,” he said.

The sale of residential <keyword id="-460" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="real-estate-in-mumbai" source="Orion">real estate in Mumbai</keyword> is not only higher than pre-covid levels but stands at its highest in the last 10-years in July 2021. Going by the recent trends, a substantial push came from the millennials. It demonstrates yet another behavioural change induced by the COVID-19 pandemic as these millennial cohorts were once perceived to be more inclined to rent a home as opposed to buying one. According to <a href="https://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/India-millennials-growth-sectors">reports</a>, there are over 400 million millennials in India, which is higher than the entire population of the US. Now aged between 25-40 years, millennials in India comprise one-third of its total population and 46 % of the country’s total workforce, with a spending capacity of $3.6 billion. The millennial generation is generally defined as people born between the mid-1990s to early 2000s, more specifically within the 1981 to 1996 period. In India, the millennials are considered profligate spenders and a generation that seeks instant gratification, not worrying or planning much about the future. As proponents of the sharing economy, they would rather use ride-share apps like Ola and Uber than buy a car, look after its repair, fuel, and pay EMIs. The same logic applied to owning a house too. They would prefer to rent a house than buy one, pay maintenance and EMIs. This behaviour by the millennials held true till early-2020 before the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. The same millennials have shown a marked change in their habits. <a href="https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/real-estate/millennial-prefer-home-ownership-over-renting-survey/article33861200.ece">Reports</a> indicate that this largest spending cohort of people is now turning serious in their spending. Two factors could be playing a part in this behavioural pattern change, one is the coming of age of the millennials and in many cases, they are the sole providers of their families. Experts <a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.in/story/expert-speak-why-millennials-wont-settle-for-small-cramped-city-homes-anymore/">believe</a> that the second reason for the change in spending priorities is the pandemic induced lockdown that revealed the handwriting on the wall - the non-sustainability of the ‘reckless’ spending and the advent of WFH with its wide acceptance. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What’s driving this change in sentiment?" comment="subhead" text="What’s driving this change in sentiment?">What’s driving this change in sentiment?</cmsannotation> A recent news <a href="https://www.livemint.com/money/personal-finance/millennials-borrowed-for-health-and-credit-refinancing-in-2020-survey-11614249892908.html">report</a> highlights this shift in the spending pattern of millennials from borrowing for lifestyle and recreational purposes to serious priorities like home repairs and medical emergencies in the family. Another study by Standard Chartered Bank discloses that as a cohort the millennials are the most inclined to conscientiously strive for their far-sighted monetary objectives. The study specifically shows that 48% of the Indian millennials who are saving for a substantial buy like a car or a house whereas only 28% of the 45+ generation. This matured approach to financial matters also reflects in a recent study by 360 Realtors, a renowned name in <keyword id="6354553" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="real-estate" source="Orion">real estate</keyword> advisory services, wherein 3/4th of millennials expressed their desire to purchase a residential property in the next three years. A similar report by Anarock Property Consultants echoes the same intent mentioning that 55% of total buyers looking to buy their own homes are from the millennial age group. This number stood at 42% last year. 68% of the millennials polled by Anarock indicated that these home purchases were for their own end-use. Nobroker.com, a leading real-estate platform, says that millennials as a group constituted 63% of all its buyers amongst its entire user base, up from 49% from the pre-covid period. For the city of Mumbai, the millennials buyers were 74% of all the buyers across all the age groups. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The COVID-19 impact &amp; rising need to own a home among millennials" comment="subhead" text="The COVID-19 impact &amp; rising need to own a home among millennials">The COVID-19 impact &amp; rising need to own a home among millennials</cmsannotation> While the pandemic has largely been instrumental in the shift in millennials’ mindsets towards buying homes, other significant factors are influencing this decision. The success of the WFH model means both employers and the millennial employees view a hybrid model of work wherein one does not have to go to an office every day as a sustainable framework of the future of work culture. This also means that the idea of career mobility and city-hopping for jobs is not at the forefront and a hybrid model of work. The major constituent, which is fulfilling the millennial aspiration of buying a house of their own in Mumbai into a real possibility is the lowest ever interest regime prevailing in the current times. The easy availability of credit and having experienced the flexibility and commute-less remote work means that the millennial buyer can now fulfil his bigger home dreams away from the island city to accommodate his/her remote WFH and their children’s online schooling in extended suburbs of MMR. The combination of record-low interest rates that have limited scope to reduce further and incentives by government augur well for both the millennial buyers of first-time home as an end-user and ones looking at a second home for investment.

However for corporates, soft skills like business communication are a non-negotiable requirement. This has led to an increased demand for <keyword id="650673" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Online-courses">online courses</keyword> in the domain. According to Udemy report on ‘What the world is learning (From home)’ the online learning enrollments in India went up by a whopping 606% for courses teaching communication skills after people were confined to their homes due to <keyword id="1754604" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="coronavirus">Coronavirus</keyword> lockdown. “There is increased interest in online courses to feed personal interests and new hobbies, such as Ukulele and Technical Drawing. Demand for particular online learning topics also varies by country and geographic area, such as communication skills in India and Piano in Spain,” the report said. This is followed by the demand for courses in financial analysis and business fundamentals at 311% and 281%, respectively. The demand for soft skills like growth mindset, creativity, innovation and focus mastery witnessed the highest growth in enrollments on Udemy. “If I were to generalize a bit, then routine and mono-skilled roles will be replaced with specialists, insights-driven and multidisciplinary roles. Skills like creativity, empathy, collaboration will gain even more prominence,” Sanjiv Mehta, CEO, HUL <a href="https://youtu.be/RUKyUK50TPY">said</a> in a webinar. Overall, the online learning enrollments witnessed a 200% increase. This may be because the employees too are working in a remote setu and they are now keen on acquiring new skills. “As a result of this pandemic, we are all being forced to learn. Some of us are learning how to work from home and how to work from home along with kids. Others are learning out of necessity because of job loss or an uncertain professional future. Learning requires effort, but it can help us make progress from where we are today to where we want to be,” said Padraig Nash, Director of Learning Science and Instructional Design at Udemy. That reiterates the findings of the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/careers/news/between-pay-cuts-and-a-jobs-crisis-nearly-half-of-indias-workforce-feels-financially-stretched-a-survey-shows/articleshow/75552381.cms">LinkedIn’s Workforce Confidence Index report </a>that says over 65% of all the job seekers, employees and self-employed professionals will increase time spent in online learning over the next two weeks.
