The Indian Technology market was valued at a whopping $273.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $421.59 billion by 2028. India’s digital economy which is currently at 11% of GDP is expected to surge to 20% of GDP by 2026.

Technological breakthroughs, especially Generative AI, will impact various job roles and functions, replacing some job roles while augmenting others. World Economic Forum’s ‘Future of Jobs’ report (May 2023) states that over 2023-2027, globally, 69 million jobs will be created, and 83 million jobs will no longer exist across 27 industry clusters - a contraction of global labour markets of 14 million jobs at the present rate of change.

As per the World Economic Forum’s ‘Future of Jobs’ report (May 2023), 82% of the surveyed firms identified increased adoption of new and frontier technologies and broadening digital access as the top two macrotrends driving business transformation.

Awareness of Digital Applications is imperative to make this a reality. In addition to fostering digital skills within the Technology sector, there is a pressing need to cultivate digital talent across all industries. As digital technologies continue to reshape business landscapes, organizations must equip their workforce with the necessary skills and competencies to thrive in the digital age. With a market size exceeding 100 million, there is a clear imperative to enhance the skills of students (49 million), IT sector employees (8.9 million), and non-IT sector employees (51 million) to align with the escalating demand for tech talent. By investing in digital skill development programs and fostering a culture of continuous learning and adaptation, businesses can harness the full potential of technology to drive innovation, competitiveness, and sustainable growth across diverse industry sectors.
