IT & ITES
The IT & ITES Landscape in India
India has firmly established itself as the world's leading technology and digital services hub, serving enterprises across every major global industry. The Indian IT-BPM industry generated approximately US$283 billion in revenue in FY25, contributing nearly 7.5% of India's GDP, while the country remains home to the world's largest pool of technology professionals with over 5.8 million employees. India also accounts for more than 55% of the global capability center (GCC) market, with over 1,800 GCCs employing more than 2.1 million professionals. The sector continues to attract significant investments across software services, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analytics, enterprise platforms, engineering R&D, digital transformation, and business process management, reinforcing India's position as a global innovation and technology powerhouse.
Driven by rapid advancements in Generative AI, cloud-native technologies, digital engineering, intelligent automation, cybersecurity, IoT, and platform modernization, the IT & ITES ecosystem is undergoing a profound transformation. Organizations are increasingly investing in AI-led business models, digital products, global capability centers, engineering services, and customer experience platforms. As enterprises accelerate innovation and global expansion, the demand for visionary leaders capable of driving digital transformation, technology innovation, operational excellence, and sustainable business growth has never been greater.
