Growth Outlook
Very High — India's DPDP Act 2023 and RBI CERT-In 6-hour breach-notification mandate are forcing every regulated company to staff or contract SOC capability. MSSP sector (MSSPs serving US/EU clients) is growing at 20%+ annually and absorbs thousands of L1/L2 analysts from Tier-2 Indian cities. The L3/threat-hunter and SOC-lead talent pool is acutely thin, meaning senior-tier comp is rising faster than the rest of the ladder.
