India’s computer services market shoots up post AI-frenzy 🤖
India’s computer services exports have grown 30% since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022, as per World Bank.
Breaking it down: India’s software export was $36.23 billion in July-September 2022, right before ChatGPT was launched in India. That number now stands at $47.32 billion in April-July quarter of 2025, growing nearly 13% YoY.
Zoom out: India has been a frontrunner in the BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) sector since decades. With the emergence of generative AI, the demand for AI-related services have also shot up, placing India in a sweet-spot to cash in from the rally.
Of all the BPO-related job postings, 12% are related to AI. This further proves that AI is going to be a major demand driver in the sector.
Big theme: India’s services exports are already at a historic high of $387.5 billion in 2024-25, which grew at the rate of 13.6%.
Now, with AI set to disrupt every industry, India can bank on its massive skilled labour pool to chart this territory and emerge as a key player.
