IT sector
For more than a decade, the IT industry has been one of the booming sectors of India, in terms of its growth and employability as well.

It has been estimated that in the next 8-10 years, the It sector will employ close to 30 million people. Employment opportunities are huge in this sector, and so are the growth opportunities.
Retail and hospitality
Indians have more disposable income than before. We are eating out more and spending more than ever before. That bodes well for the retail and hospitality sector in the country. If the proposed 100% FDI in retail sector gets approved, things could get even rosier.
Healthcare
Medical treatment in India is much cheaper than in developed nations. Thus, India holds huge potential as a destination for medical tourism, especially since we have skilled workforce which is set to increase. The healthcare sector could be one of the hottest sectors for employment in the coming years. You don’t need to be a doctor to have a career in the healthcare field. As the industry grows, there is bound to more demand for sales professionals, HR people, front office jobs and other tasks.
Infrastructure
India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Recent numbers may have suggested some slowdown, but it is still healthy compared with other global economies of the world. A growing economy always spends a lot on infrastructure. In the coming 10-15 years, number of roads, bridges, houses etc. will be built to transform India into a global destination. If the Government takes a proactive stance, and there are no major hiccups in economy, infrastructure will definitely be one of the fastest growing sectors in India in the coming years.
Telecom
As of July 2012, India had close to 920 million mobile phone subscribers. That number is set to grow even further, and fast too, in the coming time. With new companies looking to Indian shores for diversification, potential for growth in the sector could be huge. With smartphone penetration, and need for better internet penetration, the telecom industry can go only one way and that’s up.
