About 60% of enterprises in India will combine human expertise with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), NLP (natural language processing), and pattern recognition, by 2026 to augment foresight across their organisations and make their workforce 20% more productive and effective, according to a report released by the International Data Corporation (IDC).
IDC, a market intelligence provider, on Tuesday unveiled a series of reports with top ICT predictions around several key emerging segments such as IT, cloud, artificial intelligence and automation, future of digital infrastructure, future of trust, future of intelligence, data and content technologies, and corporate banking.

According to recent Foreign Trade Performance Analysis data, India’s overall exports remained resilient in late 2025, even as traditional sectors faced sharp declines. While shipments of gems and jewellery to the U.S. plummeted, the overall figures were bolstered by a massive 237% surge in telecom exports, particularly smartphones. Data shows that Indian exporters are aggressively diversifying their portfolios. By deepening ties with existing partners and discovering new alliances, India is replacing lost U.S. sales with a more diversified set of trade partners
