Talent SYNQ is the monthly research review of ST★R — SYMPHONI HR Talent Advisory & Research — covering recruitment, talent and leadership in India: the market data that moved, the policy changes that matter to employers and candidates, the capability-centre economy, and the senior appointments across banking, financial services, insurance, technology and global capability centres.
Every edition is free to download — no form, no sign-up — and every figure in it is referenced to a public source. The PDF sits on this page, and so does every edition before it.

The two-speed talent market
White-collar hiring in India is growing again — while fresher roles turn into internships, factory payrolls shrink for the first time in two and a half years and global capability centres take 43% of India’s office leasing. Thirty pages on the state of hiring: the data, the deals, the policy shifts and the 70-plus senior moves reported through early September, with every figure referenced to its source.
