Amid the process of investments in technology gathering momentum, the National Association of Software and Services Companies’ (NASSCOM’s) president R Chandrashekhar has said that India's Information Technology (IT) industry could see an upturn next year. He believes that the coming year could actually witness an upturn in the industry largely based on global economic trends, particularly in the United States.
Software services body NASSCOM’s president has said that the IT industry, as a whole, is on track to posting 7-8 percent growth in exports in the current fiscal and there is no case for revisiting those numbers as no new factor has emerged which warrants reconsideration. He added that the export growth projection for 2017-18 had taken into account all the changes in technology, global economics and global politics including political protectionism.
Chandrashekhar further stated that the process of investing in technology has sort of started picking up and this trend is actually expected to really consolidate in 2018. He said there are expectations of an upturn in BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) segment in the US, greater investment in technology in that space and hardening of interest rates. The US accounts for more than 60 percent of Indian IT exports, and the BFSI segment accounts for a big chunk of that. So, these factors make Nasscom believe that they will be seeing an upturn in the year ahead.
