This Technology Specialists Are High In Demand In India


Jobs in the blockchain sector are in high demand in India and Bengaluru leads in terms of opportunities in this sector, says a report. According to data from leading global job site Indeed, Bengaluru is the leading city for those seeking job opportunities in the blockchain sector, with over 36 per cent of all the blockchain job postings in India. It is followed by Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune and Chennai, making up the top five destinations for blockchain careers in the country. The report further noted that New Delhi and surrounding regions such as Gurugram, Noida, and Mohali also see a share of job postings in the sector. However, the volume does not compare to their southern counterparts, it noted.

“Technology hubs like Bengaluru and Hyderabad continue to lead, while the national capital region is also seeing a fair share of interest in the sector. With the global market for blockchain-related products and services is expected to reach USD 7.7 billion in 2022, there are sure to be even more jobs created in the sector in the future,” Indeed India Managing Director Sashi Kumar said.
As per the report, with the government’s approach towards understanding and exploring the possible applications of blockchain technology, India can look forward to positive growth and development in the sector. NITI Aayog’s pilot project in blockchain – IndiaChain – will also help in generating job opportunities in the sector, the report noted.
“While we still have a lot to learn about blockchain technology, given the enormous scope of its application, interest for blockchain roles is here to stay,” said Sashi Kumar, Managing Director, Indeed India.
According to Indeed, the number of cryptocurrency and blockchain related jobs posted on the Indeed website witnessed significant jump in the latter half of 2017. There were a significant number of job openings for roles such as blockchain developer, blockchain system architect, blockchain software engineer, among others.

H4 visa issue: Is Trump administration confusing Indian techies?

The Trump administration decided to delay the decision regarding H4 visa. This is supposed to be a good news, but it has nothing but confused the Indian techies working in the US. The department of homeland security (DHS) deferred issuing the proposal to restrict work permits for H4 dependent visas. The decision was supposed to be taken by February 28 but it has now been delayed to the end of June 2018. The move comes just a few days after the Trump administration announced increased scrutiny for H-1B visa approvals, making it rather confusing for existing H-1B holders. Indian families are largest beneficiaries of H-4 visas. H-1B visa holders that move to the US with their spouses can apply for work permit for their spouses. The provision of H-4 visa has helped many Indian H-1B holders find work for their spouses. The department of homeland security (DHS) was planning to issue the proposal to restrict work permits for H-4 visa holders. The government led by the former...

Paytm eyes Rs 60,000 crore from interbank transactions

Paytm   is targeting average monthly interbank account transactions of Rs 60,000 crore through its platform by the end of the year, to be achieved through a new feature of bank transfers that the   digital payments   company added to its mobile application. Paytm, which already offers users the option of transferring funds between their mobile wallets, opened up bank transfers using   UPI(Unified Payments Interface) and IMPS (Immediate Payment Service). UPI and IMPS are run by the   National Payments Corporation of India(NPCI) and facilitate real-time interbank transactions. “We have simplified the product for the users allowing them to transfer funds by using the wallet or any connected bank account,” said Deepak Abbot, senior vice president at the SoftBank- and Alibaba-backed company. “We are trying to promote this product for all recurring payments like tuition fees, rent payments, and others…” Adding this feature to the platform is a significant de...

H-1B: Work permit uncertainty cause worry among spouses of visa holders

In recent times, most of the people who came to the US legally with a spousal visa, or H-4, allowed to the spouses and wives and husbands of those who have H1-B, or high tech, visas, are much delighted and cried with euphoria as soon they heard that they would be able to get a work permit. Although H4 visas did not permit a person to work in the US – until 2015, when the Obama rule empowered a regulation that opened the route for several people with spousal visas to get permits, well-known as employment authorization documents (EAD). The help of H-4 visa holders hasn't kept going long, in any case. Bishen and mates who got the work approvals are presently in limbo since the Trump organization showed it intends to end the program this year. In the event that that occurs before they can get new work grants, life partners of H-1B holders in the Seattle region should choose whether to quit working in the United States or leave the nation. However, this relief of H-4 visa-ho...
