Stable with bifurcation — enterprise ETL headcount at Indian services firms (TCS, Infosys, Wipro) remains large because PSU banks, insurance companies, and large manufacturers have decade-long Informatica/DataStage estates that require maintenance and incremental development. However, net-new ETL projects at product cos and modern GCCs are increasingly built with dbt + Airflow + cloud-native ELT rather than Informatica, meaning demand is shifting from traditional ETL tools to modern data engineering stacks. ETL developers who stay Informatica-only face a gradually tightening market by 2028-30; those who layer in cloud tooling, dbt, and Python maintain strong demand and salary progression.
