“One of the key advantages of emerging cities is their cost-to-value ratio. Companies can access good-quality talent at 25–30 percent lower cost than the major centres, making these locations an attractive option for businesses looking to reduce costs while maintaining high levels of productivity. Moreover, emerging cities often have a strong start-up ecosystem, with many incubators and accelerators providing support and resources to help businesses start operations,” the report stated.

“With proper support and resources, these locations can become major hubs of economic growth and development, driving the success of the technology sector in India,” it further added.

According to the report, the technology industry in India has shown tremendous growth and has been growing at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of nine percent since fiscal year 2019.

NASSCOM, established in 1988, is one of the most influential technology giants leading the digital transformation narrative for the 245-billion-dollar technology industry in India.
