Workforce localization refers to the recruitment and development of citizens to increase their employability; it reduces the country’s dependency on expatriate labor, and growth of India staffing and recruitment market. Workforce localization programs aid in increasing the employment rates in India. It has become increasingly important in India to help local citizens acquire jobs and reduce the number of expatriate employees. The Make in India initiative has been adopted by various industries as the Indian government is supporting the make in India initiative. As global businesses seek ways to diversify their supply chains, the government's Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) campaign is gaining popularity among the population. Localization can truly be successful when industries and the government work together to advance this agenda through the government's Skill India program, Ease of Doing Business policies, and Production Linked Incentive scheme, as well as increased focus on Foreign Direct Investment. Such initiatives by the government are driving workforce localization by providing employment and propel the growth of the India staffing and recruitment market share.
Further, due to localization efforts, the Indian market is dominated by various local wearable brands such as Noise, BoAt, and Firebolt, which helps in India staffing and recruitment market growth. As of September 2023, the Union government is weighing the introduction of a production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for wearables, including hearing devices, to boost local production by both Indian and global companies. Such government initiatives to enhance workforce localization have changed the Indian human resources landscape and made localization policy a significant staffing consideration for businesses. To facilitate the implementation of workforce localization programs, HR managers design and monitor strategic human resource management (HRM) and diversity management practices to increase the hiring activities in the countries, thereby boosting the adoption of staffing and recruitment solutions to streamline the hiring process. Thus, workforce localization in India fuels the staffing and recruitment market in India.
