NITI Aayog Technology Services – Reimagination Ahead roadmap released by the NITI Aayog’s Frontier Tech Hub

Posted On: 12 FEB 2026 9:24PM by PIB Delhi NITI Aayog’s Frontier Tech Hub has released a ten-year roadmap on ‘Technology Services – Reimagination Ahead’, outlining how India’s ~$265B technology services sector can scale to $750–850B by 2035 while strengthening global competitiveness in the AI era and supporting the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.

The roadmap was unveiled by Hon’ble Minister Shri Piyush Goyal, Minister of Commerce & Industry, in the presence of Shri S Krishnan, Secretary MEITY, Ms. Nidhi Chhibber, DG (DMEO), Ms. Debjani Ghosh, Distinguished Fellow, NITI Aayog, and other distinguished guests and dignitaries. Industry leaders and development partners participated enthusiastically, underscoring a strong collective commitment to India's AI-driven future.

The roadmap spotlights that artificial intelligence marks a structural shift in the industry: value will move from labour-arbitrage services toward IP-led, outcome-oriented, and platform-driven delivery models.

India now has the opportunity to evolve from services leadership to global leadership in building AI-native systems.

The roadmap identifies five priority growth levers:

Agentic AI, Software & Products, Digital Infrastructure, Innovation-led Engineering, and India-for- India solutions. To unlock these, the roadmap calls for coordinated action across government and

industry: accelerated enterprise AI adoption, scaled investment in IP and R&D, workforce reskilling at national scale, and regulatory predictability to enable global market access.

On the occasion, Hon’ble Minister Shri Piyush Goyal stated:

India stands at a defining moment in its technology journey. Through this roadmap for the reimagination of our technology services sector, we are building an enabling ecosystem that combines progressive policy, strong industry partnership, and a coordinated inter-ministerial approach to accelerate innovation and growth. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is committed to working closely with industry, and other stakeholders to ensure that we do not miss out on this opportunity to position India as a trusted global leader in next-generation technology services.

Shri S Krishnan, Secretary MEITY said:

India is pursuing a full-stack, impact-driven AI strategy, spanning energy, infrastructure, chips, models and applications with its technology services sector central to scaling AI from labs to industry. Government has demonstrated strong intent to accelerate the growth of this sector with wide-ranging reforms highersafe-harbour thresholds, simplified classifications, cloud tax incentives tied to Indian data centres, Semiconductor Mission 2.0, and new education-to-employment mechanisms are aligning the ecosystem to help India's Tech Service Industry leapfrog into becoming the AI-native architect for the world.

Shri B.V.R. Subrahmanyam, CEO, NITI Aayog, conveyed: “The rise of AI is transforming the technology services industry in fundamental ways. For India, this is not just a challenge, it is a generational opportunity to create new value pools, upgrade skills at scale and strengthen our global leadership. The roadmap launched today outlines a forward-looking strategy to build an innovation-driven, AI-enabled technology services ecosystem that supports India’s growth ambitions and creates high-quality employment.” Ms Debjani Ghosh, Distinguished Fellow, NITI Aayog said:

“India’s technology services industry has repeatedly proven its ability to reinvent itself—from Y2K to cloud to digital transformation. The AI era is another such inflection point. What we are witnessing is not the end of the sector, but the birth of a new operating model built around human judgment, intelligent agents, and platforms. If we reimagine boldly and invest in innovation, India can move from being the world’s back office to becoming the architect of AI-native enterprises.”
