Key Trends:

  • TREND 1: Through the Glass: Immersive Internet for the Enterprise (Metaverse): The immersive internet is the next stage in evolution of the video call with the rise of metaverse. As per the market estimates, the metaverse industry in India is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 37.1% and touch a whopping $758 billion by the end of 2026. In addition to the global tech-giants racing to build on the emerging metaverse concept, leading Indian firms are announcing the development of the metaverse as well.
  • TREND 2: Opening to AI: Learning to trust our AI colleagues: A truly AI-fueled organization can differentiate itself from its competitors only by how robustly it uses its AI investments.

Approximately 50 percent of organizations plan to increase their investments in artificial intelligence over the next two years, according to Deloitte India's second edition of the 'State of Artificial Intelligence in India' survey, which included 200 Indian business leaders. Furthermore, with AI adoption, the four sectors, namely, BFSI, CPG & Retail, Healthcare and Industrials & Automotive are likely to contribute 60% of the net new value add of $500 billion by FY2026.

  • TREND 3: Above the clouds: Taming multicloud chaos (Metacloud or supercloud): From Indian market perspective, SuperClouds will be unique, and we will see their emergence. Organizations which have already invested in leading hyper-scalers don’t want to be trapped within the walled set of services. Surveys indicate that 84 percent of enterprises in India prefer hybrid multi-cloud as their ideal operating model, and that 58 percent are expecting to implement such environments within three years.
  • TREND 4: Flexibility, the best ABILITY: Reimagining the tech workforce (tech talent)

    In India, majority of employers are seeking to expand their workforce despite the buzz of recession, layoffs, and cost-cutting. The top five Indian IT companies hired around 100,000 new employees in 2022 even with the grim market forecasts. Human resources departments must prepare for a non-stop battle for skills in the upcoming year, as the market is enormous for IT contenders. As diverse teams have been proven to be 70% more advantageous, most organizations wish to expand their skills diversity.
  • TREND 5: In us we trust: Decentralized architectures and ecosystems (blockchain-empowered): India has successfully built foundational digital infrastructure such as Aadhaar, e-Sign and Digi locker along with digitally enabled networks like GSTN. While global response to Web3 is still shaping up, India’s growing economy, demographic dividend, and exponential adoption of emerging technologies across sectors, positioned the country to become one of the highest growth markets for Web3 globally with more than 450 active start-ups in the space that raised $1.3 billion. From everyday enterprise applications to blockchain native business models, decentralized architectures and ecosystems have started to emerge and are seeing more adoption that ever before.
  • TREND 6: Connect and extend: Mainframe modernization hits its stride: While large modernization programs are running across organizations to modernize the core, moving mainframes to newer platforms are seen as either cost prohibitive or risky. Firms are meeting this challenge by focusing their efforts on tried and tested approach into the core system modernization that will allow them to connect legacy application to even the most modern of tools. From the India outlook, the larger impact of this trend is towards jobs and skills. India supplies some of the largest mainframe talent to the world through large system integrators and technology GCCs for global organizations.
