Program overview

India’s IT industry has emerged as a global leader for high-quality engineering and design tasks and for development of products sold around the world. At the same time it has helped spur a revolution in India’s internal consumer economy, which is on track to become the third largest in the world by 2035. Over half of the world’s leading IT firms are located in India and the size of this sector is expected to quadruple by 2025. Much of this growth will be fueled by specialized, top-quality small-and-medium-sized companies.

India will also have a crucial role to play in providing services for the growing consumer markets in all of southern Asia. With a large and dedicated base of business process and IT outsourcing companies, India will need to add globalization capabilities to meet foreign demand for services. At the same time, India’s twenty-two official languages provide access to a market of over 800 million consumers, making India the new strategic market for multinational companies looking for new markets that will experience substantial growth.
