New Delhi: As the world enters a new digital era shaped by AI, connectivity, and digital platforms, India stands ready—not just to keep up, but to define the digital future. Against this backdrop, TiE Delhi-NCR presents India Internet Day 2025 (iDay), India’s largest and most definitive startup event for tech entrepreneurs.
The 14th edition of iDay is slated for 2nd May 2025, at The Leela Ambience, Gurugram, with a focused agenda: to map India’s path to a projected $1 trillion digital economy by 2030. This power-packed event brings together policymakers, tech leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors to foster strategic dialogues that drive India’s digital transformation.
India’s digital economy is expanding at nearly twice the pace of its overall GDP growth and is projected to contribute around 20% to the national GDP by 2029. The country’s internet user base is expected to cross 900 million by 2025, driven largely by rural adoption. This growth is being fuelled by increasing smartphone penetration, cheaper data plans, and a surge in regional content consumption—creating a fertile environment for startups, digital platforms, and next-gen tech ventures to scale rapidly. At India Internet Day 2025, this digital momentum forms the backdrop for critical conversations on how India can not only participate in but also lead the global tech narrative.
“India Internet Day has always been more than just a conference—it’s a platform where ideas turn into action. We’re especially excited about this year’s theme, ‘India 2030: From Digital Economy to Tech Superpower’. It captures the ambition and momentum of India’s innovation ecosystem as we look ahead to a tech-driven future,” said Upasana Sharma, Executive Director, TiE Delhi-NCR.
Building on that vision, she added, “This year, we’re thrilled to welcome a trailblazing lineup of speakers, thought leaders, and visionaries from across sectors—and with almost 50 top investors in the room, ready to hear bold pitches and disruptive ideas, iDay 2025 promises to be a launchpad for the next wave of breakout ventures. This is where India’s next big leap begins.”
