Software spending is also rising fast, with companies focusing on cybersecurity, machine learning, and better data tools.

More jobs and smarter devices ahead

IT services are set to grow too, thanks to demand for consulting and app upgrades.
And as demand for devices continues to rise, device spending will climb nearly 10%.
With India's skilled workforce in the mix, this tech growth looks set to stick around.
