New Delhi: Multinational companies are all set to go on a hiring spree in India, as they plan to hire more than 2,00,000 employees by the end of the ongoing financial year 2022-23. Declining Covid-19 cases and the mass rollout of the vaccines are providing companies with enough optimism to increase their headcount to have more people working from the office. Hiring activities have already witnessed an uptick in the past few weeks, as companies are feeling more confident in spending more on increasing the headcount.
