India ranks as the 3rd largest digitalized economy globally, behind the United States and China, according to the State of India’s Digital Economy (SIDE) Report 2024. Despite this strong position in overall digitalisation, India ranks 12th among G20 nations in terms of individual user digitalisation. The digital economy contributed 11.74% to India’s GDP in 2022-23, with projections to reach 13.42% by 2024-25. By 2029-30, it is expected to contribute 20% of GDP, surpassing both agriculture and manufacturing. The report also highlights disparities in digitalisation levels across different Indian states.
