revive/restructure the business are being explored. However for the benefit of members
current status relating to IT industry in general as reported by Nasscom are briefed in
this section even though they may not be applicable to the company in the present
scenario.
Nasscom's Strategic Review report focuses on the theme "Priming for a 'No Normal'
Future" and explores details about the Indian tech industry's resilience and growth
in the wake of global uncertainty and how the industry strengthened its position as a
trusted global technology leader over the past two years. The VUCA (volatility,
uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) world continues to exist, and every one is a
witness to a "No Normal Future".Therefore, while enterprises may continue to
focus on digital transformation, cost takeout and optimization requirements are also in
demand given the macro environment.
Indian tech industry revenue is set to grow to Rs.245 billion in FY2023 in reported
currency terms, according to IT industry body Nasscom. It would mean an incremental
revenue of Rs.19 billion over FY2022. According to the President of Nasscom, in a
no-normal environment that we are living in today, the industry focus continues to be on
investing for growth. Propelled by forward-looking policies, strong governance, talent and
digital trust to ensure accessibility, privacy, security, and reliability, the Tech
Industry in India is on track to accelerate growth to Rs.500 billion 2030.
