Budget 2025 Expectations: From GST Compliance To Focus On AI And Cybersecurity, Here’s What The Tech Industry Wants

ABP News  

By Varun Parvathaneni India's technology sector, valued at $227 billion, is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the nation's future. Boosting Research And Development One of the foremost concerns for the tech industry is India's relatively low investment in research and development, which currently stands at less than 1 per cent of GDP, significantly below the global average of 2.3 per cent. To bridge this gap, industry leaders are pushing for increased tax deductions for R&D activities, particularly in emerging fields like artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and blockchain. Bridging The Skills Gap India’s tech firms face a growing skills gap, particularly in emerging fields like AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity. By focusing on strategic investments in R&D, infrastructure, talent development, and sustainability, the government can catalyse the growth of India’s tech industry, positioning the nation as a global innovation hub.
