"India has experienced one of the fastest recoveries despite being one of the worst hit regions in the second wave of the pandemic in early 2021," said Arup Roy, research vice president at Gartner.
As hybrid work adoption increases in the country, there will be an uptick in spending on devices in 2022, reaching $44 billion, an increase of 7.5 per cent from 2021.
"The growth in devices is a combination of two components - hybrid work and pent-up demand from 2020 for device upgrades," said Roy. "Spending on devices will make up 43 per cent of total IT spending next year."
Next year, Indian CIOs are prioritising a move away from rigid and monolithic ways of doing business to a more composable business and IT architecture where they will be able to better respond to disruptions.
"In 2022, CIOs in India will build on renewed interest in technology from the business to gain funding for new IT projects," said Roy.
