Local market

What we have learnt hiring in Chennai

Tamil-language fluency is a hard requirement for most field, plant-floor and customer-facing roles — we screen for it rather than assume it.

Candidates show noticeably lower attrition and higher loyalty than in Bengaluru or NCR, which suits long-cycle engineering mandates.

Salary expectations for identical IT skills run 10–20% below Bengaluru, but the senior product-engineering pool is much thinner.

Sriperumbudur and Oragadam plant roles need transport and accommodation clarity up front, as they sit well outside the city.
