INDUSTRY STRUCTURE, OUTLOOK AND DEVELOPMENTS Global Overview

The global technology services industry continued to operate in an environment of macroeconomic, geopolitical and technological uncertainty during FY 2025-26. Enterprise technology spending remained focused on digital transformation, cloud adoption, cybersecurity and productivity-enhancing solutions.

Technology service providers are increasingly expected to support clients in modernising, securing and operating complex technology environments. Artificial Intelligence ("AI"), Generative AI ("GenAI") and automation continued to gain prominence, with enterprises evaluating and implementing technology-led solutions to improve efficiency, enhance customer experience, strengthen decision-making and drive measurable business outcomes.

Indian Economy and Technology Sector

The Indian IT industry continues to be a cornerstone of the global digital economy, driven by strong innovation capabilities, a large skilled workforce and the increasing adoption of advanced technologies such as AI, cloud computing and digital platforms. India?s economy is expected to continue expanding, supported by domestic demand and sustained public investment, notwithstanding challenges in the external environment.

India continues to strengthen its position as a global technology and innovation hub, supported by increasing digital adoption, growth of Global Capability Centres (GCCs) and continued investments in emerging technologies. The Indian technology sector remains well-positioned to benefit from growing demand for digital, cloud and AI-led solutions, providing a favourable environment for long-term growth.

OPPORTUNITIES

The global technology sector witnessed accelerated structural change during 2025, driven by geopolitical uncertainty, rapid innovation cycles and increasing enterprise focus on technology-led productivity, automation and AI-enabled transformation. Organisations across industries continued to prioritise investments in cloud, cybersecurity, digital transformation and operational resilience to improve efficiency and business outcomes.

In India, the technology sector is expected to surpass USD 315 billion in FY26, reflecting continued growth in digital services, engineering research and development (ER&D), cloud adoption and AI-led solutions. Direct employment in the sector is projected to reach approximately 6 million, representing 2.3% year-on-year growth and a net addition of around 1,35,000 employees, even as hiring priorities continue to shift from volume to specialized skill profiles.

ER&D has emerged as a key strategic growth lever, supported by global ER&D spending, which is projected to reach USD 2.5 trillion by 2030. Indian providers are increasingly adopting full-stack delivery models and sustained platform ownership, while enterprises embed AI across core operations. India?s growing role as a global data-center hub further strengthens its ability to meet enterprise-scale capacity and compliance requirements.

The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence ("AI"), Generative AI ("GenAI") and emerging agentic AI capabilities presents significant opportunities for technology service providers. Enterprises are increasingly moving from experimentation towards scaled deployment of AI across technology operations, business processes, customer experience, application development and decision-making.

THREATS:

Geopolitical tensions and regional conflicts, including developments in the Middle East, could adversely affect global economic activity, commodity prices, inflation and financial markets. Over the past year, the adverse effects of rising trade barriers and heightened economic uncertainty have been largely offset by robust technology-driven investments, accommodative financial conditions, and supportive fiscal and monetary policies. However, the conflict in the Middle East poses a substantial downside risk, with the potential to disrupt commodity markets, fuel inflationary pressures, and tighten financial conditions, thereby undermining the global economic recovery. The ability to attract, retain and upskill skilled talent in emerging technologies remains critical in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.

The technology services industry remains highly competitive, with large global IT service providers, Indian IT companies, technology platforms, specialist firms and emerging AI-focused companies competing for enterprise technology spending.

Increasing dependence on cloud platforms, digital technologies, AI and interconnected systems has heightened exposure to cybersecurity incidents, data breaches and privacy-related risks. Any significant security incident involving the Company or its clients could adversely affect reputation, client relationships, operating costs and financial performance.
