Abstract

In the annals of India's recent history, the inexorable march of digitalization stands out as a formidable force propelling the nation's advancement. Over the past decade, it has emerged as a pivotal driver, fundamentally reshaping the landscape of the Indian economy. Serving as a linchpin in business operations, digitalization has orchestrated a paradigm shift in various sectors, including healthcare, education, finance, retail, transport, and agriculture. The infusion of cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things has not only revolutionized service delivery but has also ushered in a cost-effective era of conducting business. This research paper explores into the intricate role played by digitalization in steering India towards the coveted $5 Trillion Economy echelon. Offering a comprehensive overview of the digitalization concept and its profound impact on the Indian economy, the paper scrutinizes the adoption of digital technologies and their influence on economic development, guided by government policies, support, and initiatives. The transformative power of digitalization manifests in improved citizen access to services and heightened operational efficiency. However, amidst the success narrative, the paper addresses the formidable challenges that India's Digital Economy confronts. Issues such as infrastructure and connectivity constraints, a dearth of requisite skills and training, and concerns over data security and privacy punctuate the transformative journey.
