Indian IT industry is moving to new cities from 7 major hubs, claims report

India’s technology industry is reportedly decentralising. According to a recent report by Deloitte and Nasscom, the country’s IT sector is moving from the current seven major hubs — Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune. Presently, the majority of the 5.4 million people employed in the technology industry in India have clustered around these seven major cities, the report stated. The 220-page report is titled “Emerging technology hubs of India”.

Deloitte India Partner Sumeet Salwan said, “While big cities were the focus in the past, the post-pandemic era witnessed a remarkable decentralisation of work across the nation.”
