“October and November tell us that there is cautious optimism with our clients,” he said in an interview with CNBC-TV18.
“There are certain sectors where we have seen hiring coming back more strongly, manufacturing is one and two is the apprenticeship programme – because we do have a fair amount of apprentices placed with the manufacturing companies. The manufacturing companies have seen a pick-up in apprentices from Q2 itself and that continues in Q3 and looks pretty strong for Q4 as well,” he said.

“I think we should be able to get back to pre-COVID levels by March 2021,” he said.
