What we know
What we know
Industry sources describe selective hiring returning on OMR–Sholinganallur and Porur–DLF campuses after a cautious 2025. Roles skew to cloud migration, identity security, and AI-assisted QA rather than mass fresher drives.
Election season travel freezes at some clients delay onboarding into May.

If you’re job-hunting
Referrals still dominate lateral pipelines—update public portfolios and respond quickly to recruiter pings. Verify office location and night-shift policy before signing; Chennai’s commute math punishes vague “Chennai” JDs that mean Siruseri.
