Since past years the Indian IT Industry has recorded a C.A.G.R (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) of more than 40.5% which is almost double the growth rate of the IT industry in many of the developed countries. Also India’s compounded annual growth rate (C.A.G.R) of spending on telecomĀ was around 19.6%. This is a good indicator of where investments are taking place. For IT to play an even greater role to impact Businesses in India this is a real good start. The business scenario within the country has gradually evolved and the credit goes to the government and the private sector. Business practices, infrastructure, knowledge base have all improved tremendously in the last decade. The Internet has wielded its magic as the great equalizer and in bringing distantĀ places together, has brought India closer to the rest of the world, thereby boosting its development efforts.
Composition of domestic IT market in India
The overall success of the IT industry in India has to some extent managed to spill over to other industries in the country. The Indian economy has grown at an averageĀ rate of 6.0% a year in the last five years.
Fortunately for India the phenomena of “reverse brain drain” is enriching its workforce with people having diverse international experience, knowledge of latest technology, management skills and much more. This has made it easier for MNC to set up their back offices in India.
The major sectors which are witnessing a special thrust for adoption of IT are Government administrations, Insurance, Banks, Energy, Financial Institutions, Defense, Public Tax System, Ports, Customs, Telecom, Education and Small Office Home Office / Individuals. Large sectors with slow IT penetration rate such as textile industry and healthcare are being encouraged by the government and the private sector to adopt IT. ERP implementations and systems integration continue to be at the forefront of IT growth in India.
