How Can We Prioritize Essential Skills in Indian IT and ITES Jobs? Join My Study!

Dear Sir/Madam, As I communicated earlier, I'm Rabi Sankar Saha, a student of MHROD (Master of Human Resource and Organization Development) - 2nd Semester at Delhi School of Economics. I'm conducting my summer project on the topic of "Benchmarking competencies in different functional jobs in leading Indian IT and ITES companies."

The objective of this project is to prioritize the most important competencies and skills for specific functional level jobs in IT and ITES companies in India through trend analysis and comparison of prevalent competencies across organizations.

I value your time and assure you that your participation will take no more than 5 minutes. The results of this survey will be shared with all respondents. Understanding the significance of finding competencies in today's organizations is crucial. The 'Global Human Capital Study 2005' by IBM consulting services identified the top 5 internal challenges for HR managers in the Asia Pacific region, emphasizing the importance of improving competencies and skills.

I hope for your support in my journey into the corporate world. Thank you for your time.

Regards and Thanks,
