Among the States, Maharashtra followed by Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh were ranked among the top three in terms of employability. While Mumbai followed by Hyderabad were ranked the top two employable cities. “Bengaluru, New Delhi, Pune, Lucknow, and Chennai have maintained their presence in the top 10 over the last six years. States that registered a dip in ranking were West Bengal and Haryana, which could not make it to the top ten list,” the report added. Nirmal Singh, Founder and CEO of Wheebox, said that availability of employable talent has improved over the past six years. “Prime Minister Modi’s vision of India becoming a $5 trillion economy requires increasing the per-capita income of Indians which can happen only when people get employment, which consequently demands the skills and useful talent. To achieve that, along with the universities and colleges in India, various emerging start-ups are already using innovative technologies to facilitate skill up-gradation, job creation, internships and workforce management on their platforms,” he added.
