Suresh Ramamoorthy says its a Compressive Budget focused on Holistic Growth

Union Budget Reaction Quote by Suresh Ramamoorthy, Country Head of Lingaro India:

“The Union Budget 2025-26 is a compressive budget focussed on holistic growth, to not only make the nation self-reliant and but to also prepare to take on global leadership across sectors, including technology, manufacturing and skilled labour. It reinforces India’s ambition to continue its leadership position in research and outsourcing in AI, Data and Innovation driven industries. The announcement of setting up a National Framework for GCC’s is a particularly welcoming initiative as it will provide a structured roadmap for one of the fastest-growing sectors in India. With over 1,700 GCCs employing nearly 1.9 million professionals, the National Framework for GCC’s will help strengthen India’s position as a hub for advanced technology solutions while also help drive deeper collaboration between industry and academia.

The setting up pf the dedicated Centre of Excellence in AI for Education, in addition to the other AI-driven initiatives, represents the government’s focus and commitment to continued investment in fostering homegrown innovation. It also highlights the need for leveraging AI for national progress. These investments are definitely in line with the national vision to accelerate India’s transformation into an AI powerhouse while also equipping the workforce with future-ready skills.

Additionally, the plan for developing five National Centres of Excellence for skilling, with global expertise and partnerships, will further enhance the employability of India’s youth. As we enter the era of Industry 4.0, the focus on deep tech, advanced manufacturing, and digital skilling is imperative. The allocation of ₹20,000 crore for private sector-driven R&D, along with the proposed Deep Tech Fund of Funds, will be a game-changer in fostering the next generation of Indian startups and breakthrough innovations.

With a clear vision to integrate digital infrastructure, innovation, and human capital development, this budget not only propels India’s Make in India and Make for the World vision but also ensures that India remains at the forefront of AI and data-driven transformation in the years to come.”
