Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

– Confucius

It has been quite a long time that the conventional job sectors of the country have been stagnant in terms of something new and something innovative. With the daily old din and bustle with the job, India has been handling the demographic problem with very little ‘real’ progress.

The reasons could be the lack of creative opportunities for the workers, no real challenges to thrive the work potential, over saturation of employees in one particular segment leading to lack of employment opportunities, etc. In such a time period, people have started recognizing new opportunities in the new or existing sector of jobs that have potentials to hold the professional market strong in the future both in terms of employment generation and business growth. Let us now look at some promising job sectors of India:

1.  Social Media
