India's job market is witnessing high mobility with a significant percentage of professionals actively seeking new roles, many are now negotiating for better pay within their current organisations, says a survey. The latest Talent Trends India 2025 report by Michael Page reveals that 62 per cent of professionals have negotiated a raise this year, and 37 per cent succeeded -- signalling a shift toward internal advancement.  

The rate of successful salary increases has risen from 32 per cent last year to 37 per cent this year. The report is based on insights from nearly 3,000 professionals across the country. According to the report, professionals are increasingly prioritising purpose, ethics, and flexibility in an organisation.  

"Today's workforce is increasingly values-driven and future-focused. Job satisfaction alone is no longer enough to ensure loyalty -- professionals are continuously evaluating their growth trajectory, alignment with company values, and the flexibility offered," said Nilay Khandelwal, Senior Managing Director, Michael Page India & Singapore. The high rate of job-seeking despite internal advancement reflects a shift from passive to proactive career management.
