15 Fastest Growing Skills That Indians Need To Stay Ahead At Work: LinkedIn Skills On The Rise 2025

35% of professionals in Bengaluru don’t know which of their skills are fit for a job’s requirements

3 out of the top 5 skills on the rise in India are human skills

Communication is a critical skill across IT, Business Development, Sales, Consulting, HR, and Finance

AI literacy and LLMs move beyond IT as education and marketing functions embrace AI and tech fluency

LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, has launched the Skills on the Rise 2025 list, spotlighting 15 skills that professionals should invest in to stay ahead at work. The top 5 fastest growing skills that companies in India are hiring for include creativity and innovation (#1), code review (#2), problem solving (#3), pre-screening (#4), and strategic thinking (#5).

With 64% of the skills used in most jobs projected to change by 2030 in India, LinkedIn research shows that 25% of professionals worry about not having the skills needed for the future. Nearly 4 in 10 (43%) professionals in Bengaluru find it challenging to determine if they’re a good match for a job. With 35% not knowing which of their skills are fit for a job’s requirements, understanding which skills are in demand is more critical than ever. On the other hand, 69% of recruiters in India report a skills mismatch between the skills professionals have and the skills companies need.

Nirajita Banerjee, LinkedIn Career Expert and India Senior Managing Editor says, “India Inc. is experiencing a fundamental skills reset. As AI changes the way we work, soft skills like creativity, problem solving, and strategic thinking are no longer ‘nice to have’; they’re business-critical. At the same time, AI literacy is becoming a baseline expectation across all job functions. Employers are also doubling down on customer engagement and stakeholder management, making business acumen more valuable than ever. This year’s Skills on the Rise list is a must-have resource for professionals to identify and learn the skills that companies are hiring for in 2025.”

Soft skills take centre stage

As AI automates tasks, the skills that set professionals apart are becoming deeply human. Creativity and innovation (#1), problem solving (#3) and strategic thinking (#5) are seeing increased demand, not just in traditionally creative fields like arts & design and marketing, but also in business development and education. Similarly, communication is now essential beyond people-centric roles like sales and HR, extending into IT, consulting, and finance.

AI literacy is a baseline expectation across job functions

The ability to work with AI is a mainstay in today’s work landscape. With 95% of C-Suite leaders in India prioritising AI skills over traditional experience, Large Language Models (LLM) (#8), AI literacy (#9), and prompt engineering (#13) skills are becoming key differentiators for job applicants. While these skills have traditionally been associated with IT, their growing relevance in education and marketing highlights the expanding role of AI and tech fluency across job functions.

Customer engagement skills are in demand across India Inc.

As companies sharpen their focus on business growth, strong customer relationships remain a top priority. Customer engagement (#11) is a critical skill—with an increasing emphasis on customer satisfaction—across sales, business development, and marketing functions. Professionals who can help businesses build enduring customer relations and loyalty will have an advantage.

As per new research from LinkedIn, 86% of professionals in Bengaluru plan to look for a new job this year.

LinkedIn's career expert Nirajita Banerjee shares tips to help professionals unlock new opportunities:

Take stock of what you’ve got. Go back through your job history to do a skills inventory. Don’t forget to consider skills you’ve gained from other experiences including volunteering, sports clubs – you likely have more skills than you thought! This exercise will help you ID skills to highlight during your job search and can help remind you of skills that you would want to build in the future.

Show off your soft skills. While many jobs require technical skills, skills like communication and adaptability are in demand and are super transferable across roles and industries. These skills matter to employers, so don’t bury the lead – members who list five or more skills receive up to 5.6x more profile views from recruiters and 24x recruiter InMails, and are 2.9x more likely to receive connection requests. Be sure to add your skills to your profile, and include context that demonstrates the impact your skills have made.

Go skill surfing and get in growth mode. Identify the areas of growth – possibly around skills that you were missing for a specific job you want, as detailed in the job description. You can then check out your company’s continuing education offerings or ask for a stretch assignment in your current role. Take online courses like those offered by LinkedIn Learning, or take on a volunteer role for a local club or organisation. Don’t be afraid to try new things and get out of your comfort zone – you’ll be building your skills muscle.

To support professionals, LinkedIn Learning is offering free courses to help them develop these essential skills. Additionally, LinkedIn’s new AI-powered coaching feature enables learners to practice real-world workplace conversations—like performance reviews and feedback discussions—using text or voice, with personalised feedback to build confidence.

Methodology:

Consumer and Global HR Professionals Research: This research was conducted by Censuswide between November 27 to December 16, 2024 among 22,010 consumer respondents, and among 8,035 global HR professionals between November 28 to December 18, 2024. Markets included UK, USA, France, Germany, India, Spain, Brazil, Ireland, the Netherlands, Singapore, Japan, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Australia, Indonesia, and Italy. Censuswide abides by and employs members of the Market Research Society which is based on the ESOMAR principles. Censuswide are members of the British Polling Council.

Jobs on the Rise: LinkedIn Economic Graph researchers examined millions of jobs started by LinkedIn members from January 1, 2022 to July 31, 2024 to calculate a growth rate for each job title. To be ranked, a job title needed to see positive growth across our membership base and sufficient job postings in the past year, as well as have grown to a meaningful size by 2024. Identical job titles across different seniority levels were grouped and ranked together. Internships, volunteer positions, interim roles and student roles were excluded, and jobs where hiring was dominated by a small handful of companies in each country were also excluded. Additional data points for each of the job titles are based on LinkedIn profiles of members holding the title and/or open jobs for that title in the country.

Skills on the Rise: LinkedIn measures the growth of skills based on three pillars: skill acquisition, hiring success and emerging demand. Skill acquisition counts the rate at which members are adding new skills to their profile. Hiring success is measured by the share of a skill possessed by members who have been hired in the past year. Emerging demand measures the increased presence of a given skill in paid job postings. Growth rates for all metrics are measured by comparing LinkedIn data from January 1 to December 31, 2024 to the same period in the previous year (January 1 to December 31, 2023).

About LinkedIn:

LinkedIn connects the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful and transforms the way companies hire, learn, market, and sell. Our vision is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce through the ongoing development of the world’s first Economic Graph. LinkedIn has more than one billion members and has offices around the globe. www.linkedin.com / mobile.linkedin.com.

OPPO India Builds On The Popularity Of F Series With The Highly-Anticipated F29 Series

-         OPPO set to launch the OPPO F29 series  on 20th March 2025

-         The OPPO F27 Pro+ saw a 30% increase in sales in the first six months following its launch, compared to the F25 Pro

-         Durability has become a key strength for OPPO, making it the most preferred brand for water and dust resistance, according to Counterpoint Research.

OPPO India will launch the OPPO F29 series, the Durable Champion, on 20th March 2025. The F29 Series highlights OPPO's strategic commitment to delivering durability, reliability, and performance-driven smartphones tailored to meet the demands of India's gig economy, which encompases millions of drivers, delivery partners, shopkeepers, and business owners.

OPPO F series - A front runner in sub-INR 25K category

Each new edition of the F Series builds upon the durability and quality standards set by its predecessor, as demonstrated by the impressive 30% sales growth of the OPPO F27 Pro+ in the first six months following its launch, compared to the F25 Pro. The series continues to see strong demand across regions like Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, and Nagpur.  Additionally OPPO's focus on durability and product quality has earned it the distinction of being the most preferred brand for water and dust resistance, according to Counterpoint Research.

Tested In India, Made for India

Manufactured at OPPO India’s Greater Noida facility, the F29 series—as lightweight as 180g and just 7.55mm slim—is not only made in India but also tested by SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) in India for IP66, IP68 and IP69 ratings that certify it against the highest levels of dust and water ingress.

Its IP66 rating certifies it against powerful water jets; ideal for users who work in wet conditions, from vendors to construction workers. The IP68 rating endorses it for submersion in 1.5metres of water for 30 minutes; this means it is built to survive accidental drops in water-filled potholes and kitchen sinks, while its IP69 rating implies it can endure high-pressure, high-temperature water jets up to 80°C, making it perfect for those working in industrial settings or extremely humid weather conditions.

Damage-proof 360° Armour Body*

OPPO F29 series It boasts a 360° Armour Body to endure unexpected drops and impacts. The Sponge Bionic Cushioning on the OPPO F29 series absorbs impact to minimise damage from falls while its elevated battery cover and side frame add an extra layer of protection. At the same time, the new Raised Corner Design Cover on the OPPO F29 series protects all four corners against damage.

The Lens Protection Ring on the smartphone, which is crafted out of strengthened glass, sits higher than the camera lens to prevent scratches on it. Also, the smartphone’s internal frame, which protects its motherboard, has been upgraded to aerospace-grade aluminium alloy; this increases structural integrity by 10% over its predecessor.

All-round Durable Champion

OPPO—the most preferred brand for water and dust resistance*—has subjected its F29 series to 14 Military Standard (MIL-STD-810H-2022) tests that certify it against high temperature, low temperature, shock, rain, freezing water, sand, dust, salt mist, solar radiation, humidity, vibration, fluid contamination, mold, acceleration that tests for g-loads, and resistance.

All-new Hunter Antenna Architecture

The OPPO F29 Series revolutionises mobile connectivity with its industry-first Hunter Antenna Architecture that delivers a 300% boost in signal strength. Both smartphones, the F29 and the F29 Pro establish a new benchmark in signal penetration and reliability to ensure seamless connectivity in even the most challenging environments, whether deep inside buildings, stuck in elevators, or navigating remote areas.

The OPPO F29 Pro will be available in two colours: Marble White and Granite Black, while the  F29, will be available in a premium Solid Purple and Glacier Blue colour

PhonePe Wealth Launches CRISP: An Advanced Mutual Fund Selection Tool

PhonePe Wealth today announced the launch of CRISP, a unique tool designed to help investors make more informed mutual fund investment decisions. The tool comes at a time when unique mutual fund investors in India have grown from 20 million  as on December 31, 2019 to 53 million as on December 31, 2024 (Source: AMFI), but choosing the right funds still remains a significant challenge for most investors. 

The CRISP (Consistency, Risk and Investment Style of the Portfolio) tool addresses this critical challenge by offering a holistic solution for investors to select appropriate funds beyond just looking at past returns. Retail investors, especially those investing via wealthtech platforms, have been largely relying on past point-to-point performance of funds to make their investment choices. This has often led to investors making wrong investment choices. CRISP simplifies investing decisions by converting performance, risk and portfolio data of mutual funds into actionable insights.

"The mutual fund industry is experiencing significant growth due to industry’s investor awareness initiatives and democratization of mutual fund investing by wealthtech platforms. At PhonePe Wealth, our focus is on supporting investors on our platform through innovative tools like CRISP. We are committed to developing research and technology-driven solutions that help investors embrace core investing principles and prudently navigate their wealth creation journey," said Nilesh D Naik, Head of Investment Products, Share.Market (PhonePe Wealth).

The CRISP framework assesses funds based on the following parameters:

* Consistency in Performance: CRISP assesses a fund’s performance consistency relative to its peer group based on rolling returns over a five-year period, assigning a score of “High,” “Medium,” or “Low.” This approach helps investors identify funds that have consistently outperformed, rather than those with sporadic or unpredictable performance.

* Relative Risk vs. Peers: The tool demarcates risk for the fund compared to peers and categorizes it as “Within acceptable range” or “Too High”. This enables investors to spot risk outliers and avoid investing in funds that take extreme risks.

* Investment Style or Factor Analysis: CRISP analyses a fund’s style exposure across factors like Value, Quality, and Momentum, over a five-year period, providing insights into the fund’s management style. This is presented in an easy-to-understand investment style classification of “High”, “Medium” and “Low” across the three factors. This becomes an extremely important input for investors while constructing their mutual fund portfolios, to ensure desired level of exposure across different styles or factors and to achieve diversification.

The tool is currently available on the PhonePe platform and will soon be integrated into their stock broking platform, Share.Market. This is in line with Share.Market’s mission to provide access to research and intelligence to its investors and trader community.

About PhonePe Wealth Broking: 

PhonePe Wealth Broking Private Limited, incorporated in April 2021 is a subsidiary of PhonePe Private Limited and is registered with NSE and BSE as a Stock Broker, with CDSL as a Depository Participant with SEBI as a Research Analyst and with AMFI as a Mutual Fund distributor.
