“Over the years, India has established itself as a preferred destination for IT & Business Process Management services, with the sector contributing almost 44% of FDI inflows in India in 2021 (Source: Gartner, Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) / As on August 2021). It is estimated that the Indian IT sector has the potential of becoming a $350 billion industry in annual revenues by 2025 as per a report by Nasscom. The Government is also incentivising the sector by not only fast-tracking Digital India initiative but also introducing schemes like MeitY, SAMRIDH and PLI. All this will significantly benefit the sector,” said A. Balasubramanian, Managing Director & CEO, Aditya Birla Sun Life AMC.
He adds, “Amid the pandemic, the sector demonstrated its defensive nature by reporting strong business growth, and also gave stellar returns. With India being on track to become a Global Hub of IT, Aditya Birla Sun Life IT ETF gives investors an opportunity to tap into the growth potential of the top IT companies.”
