The Naukri JobSpeak Index reached 2,651 points during the month from 2,439 points last year, driven by high-skill and strategic roles.

The top sectors that were primary growth drivers in December 2024 included artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) (+36%), oil & gas (+13%), FMCG (+12%) and healthcare (+12%).

Top metro cities collectively posted a 10% growth as the year came to an end, it added.

"India's job market is entering 2025 with vigour, driven by AI/ML growth and creative sectors," said Pawan Goyal, chief business officer, Naukri.com.

However, hiring in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector saw a decline.
