Broadband push to keep up employment in telecom: TeamLease



Telecom companies’ push toward broadband penetration is driving a surge in new job opportunities amid muted growth in the overall telecom sector, recruitment firm TeamLease Services said.

“The penetration of wired broadband in India currently stands at around 13%, with this figure expected to accelerate as service providers prioritize broadband services over traditional mobility products to attract higher Average Revenue Per User (ARPU),” the company said in a statement Tuesday.

The broadband market is expected to witness a 9-10% annual growth over the next few years, TeamLease said. The sector is witnessing new job roles in sales, installation, network maintenance, and customer support.

Besides, network operations and maintenance teams, including fiber technicians, Network Operations Center (NOC) personnel, and customer care professionals, are also seeing an uptick.

The average salary in the broadband sector has increased by 3.18% in the March-August 25’ period compared to the preceding six months. Notably, the number of associates have grown 47.10% over the same period.


The broadband industry’s workforce is majorly aged between 18 and 30, with over 67% of associates falling into this age group. Nearly 41.23% of associates hold a bachelor’s degree, while 29.7% have completed their 12th standard, data showed.
