Growth Outlook

Growing — India's SaaS ecosystem (Freshworks, Zoho, Chargebee, BrowserStack, Postman, Razorpay) and expanding GCC support hubs (Oracle Hyderabad, Cisco Bengaluru, SAP Labs, Salesforce) keep L2 and Senior Technical Support Engineer demand high. NASSCOM estimates India will add 300K+ support engineering roles in tech by 2028 as global SaaS firms accelerate GCC buildouts. AI-powered ticket deflection is compressing pure L1 headcount; the growth is in L2-and-above roles that require genuine technical depth, making skill investment increasingly important.
