There is a growing demand for professionals at the senior management level. The group has registered the steepest long-term growth rate among all job roles in August, up by 76 per cent.

The government must take a mid to long-term view and swing into action. It is time to look into much required reforms and also capital infusion into infrastructure lest it may result in a slowdown," Modi added.
