India’s healthcare and pharmaceuticals industry has experienced a 62% year-on-year growth in jobs by the end of March, with a 7% increase in hiring over the past three months, according to the jobs platform foundit. The healthcare sector has already generated over 7.5 million jobs, foundit, formerly known as Monster APAC & ME, reported.

V Suresh, CEO of foundit, emphasized that India’s healthcare industry is entering a new phase driven by technology and talent. "Our latest data highlights a sharp rise in demand for roles in AI, digital health, and informatics, reflecting a sector-wide shift towards innovation and patient-focused care," he said.

The report revealed that entry-level hiring has increased by 25% over the past year, with a particular surge in demand for telemedicine roles. Additionally, the rise of health tech startups has created a need for professionals in roles such as data entry, customer support, and clinical assistants.

At the mid-career level, demand for healthcare IT professionals has grown by 31%, particularly those with expertise in digital transformation tools like electronic health records (EHR) systems. At the senior level, hiring in health tech has seen a 28% uptick, especially for leadership roles such as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Medical Officer (CMO).

Foundit also noted a 24% increase in demand for regulatory affairs and compliance specialists, driven by stricter regulations in the pharmaceuticals and digital health sectors. Additionally, roles in business development and sales leadership have grown by 26%, with a focus on health insurance and telemedicine services.
