Indians returning from overseas are increasingly becoming the biggest talent pool for senior-level hiring, especially for Indian financial services companies, according to Korn Ferry.

According to Monica Agrawal, head of global financial services (India), Korn Ferry, queries for openings from Indians abroad have almost doubled in the last year. She added that growing opportunities in the digital and financial services sector in India as well as the emerging protectionism across nations have led to most experienced Indians working abroad to look out for openings in the country.

“There is lot of action happening in the financial services whether it’s banking, non-banking financial services companies, fintech or housing finance. There is obviously upscaling of talent,” Agrawal said.

“There is huge amount of talent sitting there in Singapore or South Asia who are becoming much more interested in returning and looking for opportunities back home,” Nick Evans, senior client partner (global financial market), Korn Ferry, told LiveMint.
