BCG Warns India Misses High-Growth Tech Pools

A BCG study published Feb. 26, 2026, finds India's technology sector contributes 7% of GDP ($300 billion) and 17% of global IT services but captures only about 1% of high-growth global value pools such as semiconductors, hyperscalers and AI-first firms. BCG warns services-led growth faces deal pricing pressure from GenAI—clients demand discounts up to 50%—and estimates 20% of roughly 7 million tech jobs could be disrupted, though targeted interventions could expand the digital workforce to about 10 million by 2028.
