Experts Call for Digital Infrastructure Investment to Tap IT Talent in Small Cities

Industry leaders are urging investment in digital infrastructure and upskilling programs to harness IT talent in Tier 2 and 3 cities across India. With the rise of remote work, these smaller urban centers are becoming hotbeds of tech potential. Experts emphasize the need for reliable internet connectivity, cybersecurity frameworks, and industry collaborations to enable professionals in these areas to compete globally. The government's initiative to establish five National Centres of Excellence for Skilling is seen as a strategic move to align youth capabilities with market demands. This shift is expected to drive inclusive growth, boost local economies, and position India as a global tech hub.
