【New Delhi】Software market in India grew 10 per cent to USD 4.76 billion in 2013, driven by strong adoption of cloud or subscription-based services, research firm Gartner said. The software market stood at USD 4.334 billion in 2012.
"The Indian software industry is in the middle of a multi-year cyclical transition as organisations are focusing investments on technologies to support existing system structure," Gartner Research Director Bhavish Sood said in a statement. Organisations are doing this in order to maintain competitiveness, while still taking advantage of cloud/ subscription-based pricing where it makes sense to grow and advance the business, he added.
Among the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) nations, the Indian software market experienced the highest growth rate.
