Bengaluru, Apr 11: Hyderabad has replaced Mumbai to join the top three cities when it comes to attracting talent -- Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru being the other two, respectively -- while software engineering and business management skills are the most sought-after in the country, a LinkedIn report said on Wednesday.

According to the Microsoft-owned professional network, which has more than 55 million members in India, software engineer is a leading position being hired for across industries.

Software and IT services, manufacturing and finance, followed by corporate services and education were seen as the largest industries on the platform, said the company in the second edition of "India Workforce Report (Professional Edition) H2 2018" that examined trends between July-December 2018.

"We have seen that software engineering and business management are the most sought-after jobs in 2018 in India across industries, as well as for talent moving outside India," said Mahesh Narayanan, Country Manager - India, LinkedIn.

"Another interesting finding is Hyderabad making it amongst the top three cities attracting talent, preceding Mumbai at number four. The broader goal is to use these insights to inform policy-making in the skills, education and employment sectors," Narayanan added. 

Finance, wellness and fitness, real estate, legal and entertainment were seen as the top five fastest-growing industries in the second half of 2018.

Healthcare emerged among the top 5 industries in five cities, including Mumbai and Hyderabad.

"Even in the rapidly growing wellness and fitness industry, there was a high demand for software engineers, particularly among related web and mobile applications, data analytics companies and online pharmaceutical players," said the report.

The role of a data analyst is gaining prominence in the legal and healthcare industries.

At the city level, Mumbai and New Delhi saw a heavy focus on management skills whereas Bengaluru saw a greater focus on technical and programming skills.

Globally, the US continues to be the top destination outside India for work, with one in three emigrants from India moving to the US. 

"The UAE, Canada, the UK and Australia were seen as the next four top destinations attracting talent from India. Together, 70 per cent of emigrants moved from India to these five destinations," the findings showed. 

Germany saw the largest in-demand corridor -- combined in-demand migration into and out from India and Germany.

Thiruvanthapuram, Feb 21: Rape-accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal has been accused of sexual abuse by another nun. Police sources say that there is at least one more nun who has given a statement of sexual assault against the bishop.

This nun is a witness in the rape case registered against Franco Mulakkal. She is the 14th witness in the case and in her statement, she said that the bishop made sexually-colored and lewd remarks to her over the phone.

As per the nun, they were in communication via phone calls, chat and video calls for a period of two years from 2015 to 2017.

In the statement, the nun said that she kept quiet as she was scared of the bishop.

In her witness statement in September 2018, she said that in 2017, the bishop visited the convent she was in and hugged and kissed her.

Police say that the witness was not ready to file a complaint against the bishop. They had alerted the police in the jurisdiction and when the team met her, she refused to file a complaint. Hence a separate case wasn't registered against Bishop Franco

The first nun of Missionaries of Jesus had accused Franco of raping her multiple times at the Kuruvilangadu convent in Kottayam. The FIR in the case was registered in June 2018.

Then after protests, Franco was arrested on September 21, 2018.

The chargesheet in the case was submitted in April 2019. In the chargesheet, Bishop Franco Mullackal has been charged under various sections of the IPC: 342 (wrongful confinement), 376 (2k) (rape on a woman incapable of giving consent), 376 (2n) (causing grievous bodily harm during rape), 376 (c) (a) 377 (unnatural offence) and 506 (1) (criminal intimidation).
