IT consulting demand in India has grown 35% YoY. Here's what's driving the surge and what businesses are investing in.
India's IT consulting market is growing at 35% annually, driven by digital transformation, compliance requirements, and the AI revolution. Key spending areas: cloud migration (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure adoption), cybersecurity post-pandemic (ransomware attacks on Indian SMBs up 300%), ERP implementation (Zoho One, SAP, Odoo), and AI/ML integration into existing business processes. Hyderabad and Bangalore lead IT consulting demand due to concentrated IT industry. Top priorities for SMBs: moving to cloud (cost savings + scalability), implementing CRM and ERP (operational efficiency), cybersecurity (regulatory compliance like DPDP Act), and website/app modernization. IT consulting ROI: cloud migration typically pays back in 12-18 months through infrastructure cost savings.
