The creation of a High-Powered Education-to-Employment and Enterprises Standing Committee signals a landmark shift in India’s approach to human capital development. By directly linking education, skilling, employment, and entrepreneurship, the government is building the connective tissue needed for sustainable growth in the services sector especially as India aspires for a 10% global share by 2047.
The unified IT Services framework eliminates tax arbitrage, streamlines compliance, and strengthens India’s position as the world’s software and digital services hub. For the technology and services industries, this initiative comes at a pivotal moment. As artificial intelligence and emerging digital platforms redefine work, the focus on adaptive skill pathways will be crucial to ensuring that opportunity keeps pace with innovation. At CDK Global, we see this as an inflection point to deepen industry-academia collaboration, integrate AI-driven skill development, and create future-ready career paths in technology, analytics, and customer experience.
Also, the vision for technology as a societal equalizer—from empowering farmers and women in STEM to enhancing accessibility for divyangjan—echoes our own belief that digital progress must be inclusive by design. This alignment between policy intent and industry capability sets the stage for India’s next chapter as a global leader in technology-enabled services.”
