IT companies have become a major part of big businesses worldwide, as everything is going digital. From education to the legal system, call centers to customer services, medical reports to insurance slips, every industry uses the latest technology to be successful in what they offer to their customers.
Lately, India has managed to come to the list of those countries where technology is booming at its peak. This country is considered a worldwide hub for its IT services. According to a report published by India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the contribution of India’s IT industry to the country’s GDP is around 7.7 percent. By 2025, it is expected to contribute 10 percent. The IT industry of India employs 4.1 million people as of FY19.
People are amazed to see the IT industry’s constant progress in India. The industry has emerged to rise beyond just a service. Now, it is a prominent business in itself. As per McKinsey, the major digital sectors, for example, electronic manufacturing, online communication services, and IT-BPM (Business Process Management), will double India’s GDP level to $435 billion by 2025. That’s why major US tech companies like Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), IBM Common Stock (NYSE:IBM) and Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) are vying for a chunk of the growing Indian market.
The extraordinary growth of India’s tech companies has also improved employment opportunities for many related to this field.
