👉 India's computing journey began in the early 1970s with the establishment of the Indian Computer Science Association (ICSA) and the creation of the National Computer Centre (NCC) in 1974, aimed at fostering computer science education and research. The Indian government launched the National Information Infrastructure (NII) project in 1996, which significantly boosted IT infrastructure and laid the groundwork for India's IT industry. Companies like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, and Wipro emerged as global leaders, driven by a skilled workforce nurtured through educational reforms and government initiatives. Today, India is recognized as a major player in the global IT landscape, with a robust ecosystem of startups, research institutions, and a large pool of talent, contributing significantly to software development, IT services, and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain.
