# Indian startups to boost hiring by 20-30% in 2025 as funding improves
Indian startups are poised to significantly ramp up hiring in 2025, with an anticipated increase of 20-30%, as the funding landscape continues to improve. This positive shift comes after a period of layoffs that plagued the sector. The decline in layoffs, coupled with a 14% year-on-year increase in funding to $10.9 billion in 2024, has instilled renewed confidence among startups, prompting them to prioritize growth and expansion.

Key sectors driving this hiring surge include retail, e-commerce, fintech, FMCG, automotive, travel, and hospitality. While sectors like BFSI, telecom, healthcare, pharma, and energy may witness more subdued hiring activity, particularly in the first quarter of 2025, the overall trend points towards a robust hiring outlook for the startup ecosystem.
