With the evolution of technology and increasing automation, the nature of traditional technology jobs and roles will evolve, leading to creation of newer jobs, industry body National Association of Software and Services Companies said on Thursday.

“The industry continues to be a net hirer of skilled talent, adding 138,000 people in FY2021, and robust hiring plans for FY22 with the top 5 Indian IT companies planning to add over 96,000 employees.
