Mumbai: With the domestic IT (information technology) industry staring at a shift in nature of work due to increasing use of digital technologies, a leading firm has said a majority of the workforce cannot imbibe the required emerging skill-sets, and warned of high job losses at the middle and senior levels.
“I am not very pessimistic, but it is a challenging task and I tend to believe that 60-65% of them are just not trainable,” Capgemini India’s chief executive Srinivas Kandula said here over the weekend.
