As the world navigates a new digital era defined by AI, hyper-connectivity, and platform-driven innovation, India is poised to lead. On May 2, 2025, TiE Delhi-NCR will host the 14th edition of India Internet Day (iDay) at The Leela Ambience, Gurugram, with an ambitious theme:
“India 2030: From Digital Economy to Tech Superpower.”
The conference will serve as the definitive gathering for founders, investors, policymakers, and digital ecosystem builders to map the country’s trajectory towards a $1 trillion digital economy by 2030.
India’s Digital Leap
India’s digital economy is growing at nearly 2x the rate of GDP and is projected to contribute around 20% of India’s GDP by 2029. With the number of internet users expected to cross 900 million by 2025, largely from rural India, the ecosystem is ripe for disruption.
