India's digital economy is projected to reach nearly 20% of the nation's GDP by 2030, a significant increase from its current 13%. This growth, which is double that of the broader economy, is primarily fueled by the increased adoption of Artificial Intelligence across various sectors. S. Krishnan, Secretary of the India===Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), highlighted India's expanding global technology footprint, noting that the country has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with over 53 nations, including those in the Global South, Europe, and Russia, to support the worldwide expansion of its Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) model. Under the India AI Mission, AI compute infrastructure is being provided to domestic innovators at reduced prices, and over 10,000 datasets and homegrown AI models have been made available. India's software services exports, currently around USD 250 billion, are expected to undergo a structural shift rather than decline.
