Looking for work in India can feel overwhelming. There are thousands of vacancies across apps, websites and social media, and it’s not always clear which opportunities are real, stable and suitable for your situation. It’s easy to lose hours scrolling without actually moving closer to a job.

This guide brings everything into one simple view. We’ve selected five practical job paths that are hiring across Indian cities right now – all of them available through Naukri.com. Here, you’ll get a big-picture view of what each type of job looks like, who it suits best and how to move from “just browsing” to sending real applications through a trusted platform.
How this guide can support your job search
Before choosing a job path, it helps to think clearly about what you want from your next opportunity. Some people are looking for their very first job, others want more stable hours, and many are trying to increase their income or gain more flexibility with shifts and location.
This guide is designed to give you a simple overview of different types of work so you can quickly see what fits your skills, lifestyle and goals. As you read each section, pay attention to three things: the day-to-day tasks, the typical experience or qualifications required, and how to find similar roles on Naukri.
Call Center & Customer Support

Call center and customer support roles are one of the most common ways to start or restart a career in India’s service sector. On Naukri, you’ll find thousands of openings for voice and non-voice processes across cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and Delhi NCR. Job titles include “Customer Care Executive”, “BPO Associate”, “Chat/Email Support Executive” and “Technical Support Representative”.
These jobs suit people who are comfortable talking to others, can stay calm under pressure and enjoy solving everyday problems. Good spoken English or Hindi (and sometimes regional languages), a clear voice and basic computer skills are usually more important than advanced degrees. Over time, strong performers can move into roles such as Quality Analyst, Trainer, Team Leader or even Operations Manager.
If you like the idea of using your voice, listening skills and patience at work, but prefer physical tasks or different environments, cleaning and housekeeping roles might be another path to consider.
Cleaners & Housekeeping
You will remain on the same site.
Cleaning and housekeeping jobs are essential for keeping homes, offices, hospitals, schools and hotels safe and welcoming. On Naukri, these roles may appear as “Housekeeping Staff”, “Cleaner”, “Janitor”, “Room Attendant” or “Facility Executive”, posted by hospitality companies, facility management firms, housing societies and hospitals.
These jobs are ideal if you prefer hands-on, practical work and take pride in neat, organised spaces. While many roles do not require high formal education, previous experience and good references can help you access better-paying positions or more stable employers. Tasks usually include sweeping, mopping, dusting, waste management and sometimes laundry or basic pantry duties.
If you enjoy being active and moving throughout the day but want more flexibility and outdoor time, bike courier and app-based delivery work could be the next category to explore.
Bike Couriers & App-based Delivery
You will remain on the same site.
App-based delivery has grown rapidly in India’s major cities and smaller towns. On Naukri, you’ll find openings labelled “Delivery Executive”, “Bike Courier”, “Last Mile Delivery Partner” or “Field Associate” for companies that deliver food, e-commerce parcels, medicines and groceries. Many of these jobs are linked to well-known apps and logistics companies.
These roles are a good fit if you have a valid driving licence, access to a two-wheeler and enjoy being out on the road. Work is usually shift-based, and in some cases you can choose your slots and earn incentives depending on the number of deliveries completed. It’s important to be comfortable navigating traffic, using GPS and dealing with customers at their doorstep.
If your priority is stability in one location and protecting people and property rather than moving around the city, security guard roles may be a better match.
Security Guards
You will remain on the same site.
Security guards play a crucial role in housing societies, office parks, malls, factories, banks and hospitals across India. On Naukri, you’ll see roles such as “Security Guard”, “Security Officer”, “Security Supervisor” and “CCTV Operator”, offered by security agencies, corporates and property managers.
These jobs often suit candidates with a disciplined mindset, good health and the ability to stay alert for long periods. Some positions may prefer ex-servicemen or candidates with previous security experience, while others provide training on basic security procedures, visitor management, access control and emergency response. Night shifts and rotating rosters are common, but in return you gain regular income and sometimes on-site accommodation or other benefits.
If you want to stay on the move while still working with people and providing a service, driver and delivery-person jobs can combine mobility with responsibility.
Drivers & Delivery Personnel
You will remain on the same site.
Driving jobs advertised on Naukri cover a wide range: “Car Driver”, “Company Driver”, “Cab Driver”, “Commercial Vehicle Driver”, “Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) Driver”, “Truck Driver” and “Delivery Driver”. Employers may include logistics companies, schools, hospitals, corporates, ride-hailing services and small businesses.
These roles are best suited to people who already have a valid licence, understand traffic rules and are comfortable navigating city routes or highways. Some positions require specific licences (like heavy vehicle or commercial), while others focus on safe driving and polite behaviour with passengers or clients. For delivery-oriented roles, you might be responsible for loading, unloading and collecting signatures as well as driving.
If you feel driving is your strength, these jobs can provide consistent work and, in some cases, performance incentives or overtime pay.
Taking action on your next opportunity
Reading about different job types is a powerful first step, but real change happens when you use this information to make focused decisions. Instead of sending the same CV to random vacancies, you can now choose one or two paths that genuinely match your strengths and energy: maybe handling calls in a call center, keeping homes and offices spotless, delivering packages on your bike, protecting buildings as a security guard or driving people and goods across your city.
When you move forward with any category, two actions can make a big difference: searching for relevant roles on Naukri and applying through official listings, and using an app or simple tracker to save your favourite opportunities, set alerts and record where you’ve already applied. This keeps you organised, helps you respond quickly when new roles appear and reduces the chance of missing important updates from recruiters.
By choosing a clear path, following a trusted platform like Naukri and using tools that keep you on track, you give yourself a far better chance of moving from “looking for work” to “starting a new job”. Take a moment to reflect on which of these five job paths feels closest to your reality right now, click through to explore it in more detail, and begin the next phase of your career journey with more clarity and confidence.
