The Indian IT industry has undergone a transformative journey since the 1990s and early
2000s, when it was primarily seen as a low-cost destination. At that time, IT was largely viewed as a
single vertical, with a focus on IT services such as software development for various sectors, and
IT-enabled services like support functions for diverse industries.
Today, the landscape is vastly different. With the rise of emerging technologies such as AI, Blockchain, Autonomous Systems, Digital Twins, Drones, and Automation, the IT industry has evolved far beyond its original scope. These technologies have blurred the boundaries between industries, with technology companies now offering highly specialized services tailored to the specific needs of various sectors.
