TiE Delhi-NCR’s India Internet Day 2025 to decode India’s USD 1-trillion digital future

The 14th edition of India Internet Day (iDay), organised by TiE Delhi-NCR, is set for May 2, 2025, at The Leela Ambience in Gurugram. This year’s event centres on the ambitious goal of charting India’s journey toward a $1 trillion digital economy by 2030, positioning itself as the country’s most influential gathering for tech entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and digital ecosystem leaders.

India’s digital economy is expanding at nearly double the pace of overall GDP growth and is expected to account for about 20% of the national GDP by 2029. With internet users projected to surpass 900 million by 2025—driven largely by rural adoption, affordable smartphones, low-cost data, and a surge in regional content—the stage is set for rapid growth in startups, digital platforms, and next-generation technologies.

iDay 2025 will serve as a strategic forum for shaping the nation’s digital future. This year’s theme, “India 2030: From Digital Economy to Tech Superpower,” will spotlight how India’s innovation ecosystem is poised to lead on the global stage. The event will feature deep discussions on AI, 5G, digital infrastructure, digital governance, and the transformative impact of technology across industries such as healthcare and agriculture.
