Addressing the gap at the intersection of New Zealand, India, and all things digital
1.5B
With a population of 1.5 billion, a GDP of 3.176 trillion USD, and a growth rate of 8.7%, India is the world’s 5th largest economies, and the fastest growing major economy of the world.
A number of New Zealand based technology companies have recognised this and are riding the wave by servicing the growing Indian middle-class for some time.
$245B
India’s tech industry is estimated to touch $245 billion in 2022-23, as many Kiwis who set up and run global IT operations in India will attest.
Several Kiwi entrepreneurs have captive development centres in India to service the New Zealand market.
$350M
New Zealand has attracted Indian IT majors since the 1980s. It is estimated Indian IT professionals contribute NZD350M to New Zealand's economy every year.
Now at the C-level, industry leaders, successful in the startup, entrepreunership and VC space, many have set up their own professional services practices.
