According to a study, people with advanced digital skills earn 92 per cent higher salaries in India compared to those with a similar education who do not use digital skills at work. While there are multiple factors which contribute to this direct relation between skills and better salaried jobs, we talk about few of the most prominent reasons behind this.

Here are the reasons:

High demand: The demand for digitally skilled professionals is high due to the increasing need for digital transformation in most industries. This means that there are more job opportunities for people with digital skills, leading to a higher demand and higher pay.

Competitive Advantage: Digitally skilled professionals have a competitive advantage over others. They possess skills that are valuable in the job market and can provide innovative solutions that can help companies stay ahead of their competitors.

Complexity of the job: Digital jobs often require complex skills and knowledge, which can take years of training and experience to acquire. This complexity can make it challenging for companies to find qualified professionals, leading to higher salaries for those who possess the necessary skills.

Rapidly changing technology: Technology is constantly evolving, and digital professionals must keep up with the latest trends and advancements. This ongoing learning and development require additional investment in time and money, which can lead to higher salaries.

ROI: Digitally skilled professionals can provide a higher return on investment for companies. By leveraging digital tools and strategies, they can help companies achieve their goals more efficiently and effectively, leading to increased revenue and profitability.
