With some of the largest businesses in India, Gujarat is an industrial heavyweight, and recent investments in the state are creating job opportunities in almost every field. Gujarat also tops the list in India for providing maximum number of job placements through employment exchanges, with 4 lakh job offers facilitated by government agencies alone.
THE AUTO GIANT

The limelight from the recent Tata Nano project has fuelled other Auto companies to invest in Gujarat, with easy accessibility of land and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Ancillary jobs have also opened up, further adding to the allure of working in and around cities like Ahmedabad. Ford has recently signed MoUs of Rs 4000 crore to set up factories in Sanand and an anticipated 5,000 direct jobs. An added 24,000 indirect jobs are said to result from this business deal and a further 6,000 youth jobs in the ancillary engineering industry. Some of the jobs created include manufacture of automobiles and of spare parts, production plant management, jobs at service centers and insurance companies and CNC operations. The diversity of available careers also entails requirements from a vast number of fields, from engineering to customer relations, hence making the industry a good option for professionals from every field.
Having experienced a heavy interest from financial investors, the state is emerging as an Automobile hub, promising to have more investments in the near future and an industrial increase of 18%. >> IT'S SHINING
Another developing segment is the IT and ITES sector, which has seen a nation-wide surge in job opportunities. India is now seen as a great offshore destination for jobs in the IT sector, and companies such as Wipro and Infosys are well established internationally. Gujarat also proves to be a central location for professionals looking for jobs in this sector. The region has growing IT companies looking for talented and proficient software engineers and designers, creating several jobs for qualified professionals looking to enter the field. As the country itself is familiarised with the technology of the computer and the Internet, the demand for computers has fuelled an increase in hardware manufacturing and selling as well.
Job requirements for the field include grounding in computer sciences and an in-depth knowledge of the technicalities of the field, should it be hardware design or programming. Software engineers, hardware technicians, web designers, graphic designers, programmers and security technicians are all a part of this growing sector. Degrees in telecommunications and electronics is also acceptable, and several institutes in India are producing professionals equipped with an understanding of networking, MNA, Security + and much more.
The IT field also poses a comfortable work environment for job seekers, with fairly high starting salaries and a good system for progression to higher posts. Work hours and office setups are often integrated and holistic, creating an exciting and inviting atmosphere.
THE PHARMA MAJOR
Known as the pharma hub of India, Gujarat produces 46% of India's pharmaceutical products. With low R&D costs and a skilled resource pool, Gujarat proves to be one of the best locations for professionals looking for a stable work environment in the field. There are more than 3000 pharmaceutical units registered in Gujarat, with an added investment of over 1 billion dollars in the industry. Careers in manufacture, supply, research and institutional placements, skilled process
chemistry and chemical engineering are available. Large companies are also looking into the formulation of new drugs and research and highly skilled professionals with a background in chemical engineering and biochemistry are in demand.
THE SERVICE PROVIDER

Owing to Gujarat's recent surge in the service sector, professionals with MBAs and MCAs are also exploring careers in banking, financial services and retail. For those with a commerce background, banking has always been a reputable and stable option. However, a career in finance has had evolving requirements in the past few years owing to a drastic change in the privatisation of banks. With multinational banks now in India, an impressive skill-set is required to break into the field. While professionals are required to pass the TNPCE exam as before, they are also expected to be proficient at analysing current markets. An understanding of PR is also required as more and more banks are focusing on customer relations and p2p banking.
Gujarat's recent Vibrant Gujarat Summit has seen investments in the tourism sector as well, creating jobs for seekers looking to get into hospitality, hotel management and travel consultancies. Ancillary industries of retail are also cropping up, and travel consultants and hotel managers are in high demand. Gujarat tourism offers placements in the travel bureau and a wide variety of jobs are available. Industry experience is sometimes necessary for jobs as a hotelier, however a degree in hotel management or an equivalent course in business management is suitable. Urban planners and architects are also in demand in keeping with the fast-paced development of infrastructure in cities such as Ahmedabad.
THE CONSTRUCTION CONGLOMERATE

Gujarat is the 3rd most urbanised state in India, with 38% of the population living in urban areas. With new policies introduced for a high standard of living, construction sites are cropping up in urban cities such as Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad. Project managers, mechanical and electrical engineers, contract experts and regional managers are all in demand. Although an extended degree might not be as helpful as work experience, most construction companies require a degree in civil engineering or construction management. A degree in architecture is also a good background to get into the field of urban development and construction. Specialisations such as residential or commercial construction give the job seeker the opportunity to apply to new and upcoming companies, and an understanding of current trends and interior design is an added plus.
With Gujarat's economy at an all time high, businesses and professionals alike are looking to relocate to the state. With India's growth estimated to overtake France and Italy by 2025, Gujarat plays a central role in the development of India's industry. This economic surge has created innumerable job opportunities, and professionals from every field are vying for an occasion to work in such a favourable environment.
