What we found

Only 4% of remote jobs are open to people in India. That’s 2,388 of 60,757.
About 1 in 2 only hire in the United States. 26,085 jobs, plus 2,186 more open to the US and just one or two other countries.
Many more hire in a single other country. 20,408 are open in one country that isn’t India or the US.
“Work from anywhere” is rare. Only 489 jobs, about 1 in 124, are open to anyone, anywhere.
1,529 jobs are open only to people in India. The rest of the 2,388 name India alongside other countries, or a region that includes it, such as APAC or Asia.
Pay is mostly hidden. Only 190 of the 2,388 show a salary, 62 of them in Indian rupees.
Some roles are more open than others. About 8% of QA and testing jobs are open to India, and 6% of DevOps and infrastructure jobs, but only 2% of sales ones.
651 companies are hiring people in India remotely. 220 of these jobs were posted in the past week.

What it means if you’re job hunting in India

Check who a job is open to before you apply. Look for “must be based in the US” or “authorised to work in the United States” in the description.
A salary in rupees, an Indian time zone (IST) or “APAC” in the location are good signs.
Or skip the checking: every job on Remotejobify has been read this way, and shows the line that proves it’s open to you.

How we counted

We read each job from the company’s own job board, including its location and description, and work out who it’s open to. A job counts as open to India if it names India, a region that includes it, like APAC or Asia, or says you can work from anywhere. A job that doesn’t say counts as not open. These numbers are from today’s list, 11 November 2026, and change as jobs open and close.
