Anticipating Union Budget 2025: The Tech Industry Sets Expectations

As India gears up for the Union Budget 2025, leading voices from the technology sector share their expectations and recommendations for policy initiatives. Industry leaders from diverse segments including AI, healthcare, wearables, and digital solutions emphasize the need for strategic investments in emerging technologies, digital infrastructure, and workforce development. With India's AI market poised for significant growth, these tech executives outline key areas where budgetary support could accelerate innovation and maintain India's competitive edge in the global technology landscape.

 

● Rajeev Singh, Managing Director, BenQ India and South Asia - Prioritizing AI, Digital Infrastructure, and Manufacturing

 

 

"As we approach the Union Budget 2025, targeted investments in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) should remain a key area of focus. With India's AI market projected to reach $17 billion by 2025, there is a strong call for enhanced government support in AI research and innovation. This includes the need for research grants, tax incentives, and public-private partnership frameworks to make long-term AI research commercially viable.

 

We also strongly anticipate enhancements in digital infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, to improve financial inclusion and integrate underserved communities into the economy. The budget should also consider the necessity of high-performance computing resources, data centers, and specialized AI hardware to support innovation. Government support through shared infrastructure models could democratize access to these essential resources and facilitate the growth of AI capabilities across the nation. 

In addition, the establishment of India's first private semiconductor facility in Andhra Pradesh is expected to receive support in the upcoming budget. This initiative will bolster local manufacturing capabilities and reduce dependency on foreign imports, which is vital for the tech sector's growth. With the manufacturing sector being a critical driver of economic growth, we also hope for expanded Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes that could create millions of jobs while enhancing India’s manufacturing exports.”

● Gerald Jaideep, CEO, Medvarsity Calls for Policies to Empower Digital Healthcare Education 

"As we anticipate the 2025 Union Budget, there is a strong need for policies that support the growth of digital healthcare education and skilling in India. Initiatives such as tax incentives for organizations investing in healthcare upskilling, funding for digital learning infrastructure, and promoting public-private partnerships can play a transformative role. Additionally, prioritizing innovation and technology in healthcare education will help bridge skill gaps and ensure a future-ready workforce. We hope for a budget that empowers the healthcare ed-tech sector to drive meaningful and scalable impact across the nation."

 

● Ravi Kunwar, VP and CEO, HMD India and APAC: Strengthening Mobile Manufacturing: Call for Enhanced PLI Schemes and Local Value Addition

“As we approach the Union Budget 2025, we see immense potential for policies that could strengthen India's position in the global mobile manufacturing landscape. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has been a game-changer for domestic manufacturing and, we believe providing a boost to the PLI scheme with a focus on increasing local value addition to more than 18% is indispensable. Simultaneously, initiatives like these could support the localization of critical smartphone and feature phone components, as this aligns with both our business strategy and India's vision of technological self-reliance is something we as a brand are anticipating.

The upcoming budget has the potential to strengthen domestic component manufacturing, particularly in the mobile segment. We look forward to policies that will boost indigenous production and create a more robust supply chain. 

Our commitment to 'Make in India' remains firm, and we look forward to policy frameworks that could help us to deepen our manufacturing footprint in the country. We are optimistic that the budget will introduce measures to support technological innovation and sustainable growth in the mobile manufacturing sector.”

● CP Khandelwal, CEO PR Innovations and Brand Custodian, Amazfit India Calls for R&D Incentives and Digital Growth 

 

 

 

 

"

“As we approach the 2025 Union Budget, we hope for policies that further accelerate the growth of the technology and wearable industry. This sector thrives on innovation, and initiatives such as incentivizing R&D, reducing import duties on key components, and offering tax benefits for companies investing in advanced technologies could drive significant progress. Additionally, measures to promote digital adoption and skill development in tech will ensure India remains a leader in the global wearable market. We look forward to a budget that fosters innovation and positions the technology sector as a cornerstone of India's economic growth."

 

● Srividya Kannan, Founder and CEO, Avaali Solutions: Fostering AI Innovation and Digital Talent: Building India's Tech Leadership

 

 

“The 2025 Union Budget should focus on creating a robust ecosystem that incentivizes the adoption and development of AI across industries while empowering the tech workforce through structured learning initiatives. It is vital for the government to support R&D and innovation in AI so that India solidifies its position as a global leader in technology innovation. I’m keen to see the government allocate subsidies, incentives, or grants specifically for developing AI-driven solutions. Policies supporting R&D in AI applications, particularly for enhancing automation, improving efficiencies, and enabling data-driven decision-making, will give Indian businesses a competitive edge in global markets. An emphasis on building cybersecurity infrastructure and policies that encourage the adoption of digital and AI workflows will play a pivotal role as well. Grants or tax breaks to promote AI-enhanced automation platforms will help organizations streamline their processes while staying globally competitive.

Moreover, for India to retain its status as the digital talent powerhouse of the world, upskilling and reskilling the workforce should be a priority. The budget should allocate increased funding toward government-sponsored training programs in AI, machine learning, and cybersecurity. Partnerships between academia and industry to create advanced certification programs could further prepare the workforce for the demands of enterprises undergoing digital transformation. Special focus on women’s participation in tech through scholarships or incentives would also ensure a more inclusive ecosystem.”

Learn while you play with Culinaryschools.org

You often don't get to learn when you are playing a game. Most of the time, games are devised to give you a challenge and by making it interesting and engaging, these games will eat up junk of your precious time without having to make you learn anything. We also do not mind since games are seen as entertainment mostly and not otherwise.

This is where Culinaryschools.org comes into the picture. I am a food aficionado and used to search food-related content online. This is when I stumbled upon this site. Initially, I was going through the food-related content and saw something even more interesting. 

I was fascinated to see various types of games. These are not only interesting but also drive some learning with each and every game. The first of them is related to Recycling. I opted Twin The Bin game which gives you the option of collecting recyclable and non-recyclable games. In this game, the trash collector will be at the bottom, and from the top, items will be dropping. We need to collect those that are recyclable and avoid those that are not. This is a good learning point for the kids because when they play this game a few times, they know which ones to recycle and which ones to discard. 

If your kids love cartoons, especially Tom and Jerry cartoons, there is an interesting game for them as well. The game is Tom & Jerry Show River Recycle. In this, there will be a lot of litter inside the river. There is a claw on top which needs to be used to pull back the litter. While playing we need to avoid twigs, fish, etc which are native to the river. You also have Electric Car Test Drive, Harbour Operator, etc in this.

We will now quickly see some games related to farming. The one that caught my attention was the New Looney Tunes Veggie Patch. In this game, you have various options to use like watering the plants or applying manure and seeing veggies like Carrots, and Beetroot grow. This will invoke interest in the kids to undertake farming in real life. There is Old Macdonald Farm Adventure, Tractor Mania, Puzzle Farm, and other games in this category.

Grocery Stores is another set of games I liked it a lot. From Cash simulator to Supermarket simulator, this game covers most of the aspects of a supermarket.

Then there are games in these categories too:

1. Drink Serving

2. Pizzeria

3. Cheeseburger

4. Stacking

5. Mexican Food

6. Lunch

7. Restaurant

8. Ice cream

9. Dessert 

10. Business SIM and many more

These are simple games which are informative and can be easily loaded as played since these are designed on HTML and does not require huge RAM to run them. What are you waiting for? Start Playing and Start Learning.

Mortgage Calculator - An engaging website

 We come across various websites from time to time. As a kid, there were no computers, let alone laptops. During those days, I use to read a lot of books and play games through hand-held games or on TV by connecting the deck with the cartridge. Those were the days when PSP or X-Box was unheard of.  As and when the day progress, we see a shift in technology that has shrunk the world. This has made things that were considered impossible, possible.

We do not see handheld video games these days. Due to the cheaper prices for the Internet, the so-called "Internet Cafes" is almost extinct now. To recall, when the internet was first introduced, I use to connect to the internet through a dial-up connection. Then came the direct connection. I am an internet user right from when they were in 2G. Thankfully, we now have 5G. One can even download a movie in no time. As you could see, I have always loved playing games. When I use to wear Video Game watch to school in the 90s, I use to give it to my friends in my class as well.

When it comes to games, I loved various genres which include simulation games, games that involve money like Trade, and other fun games. This is when I stumbled across an excellent site that not only offered various games but also information on mortgages in general.

The name of the site is Mortgage Calculator. Let me share a couple of games that I liked the most of all. Firstly, it was Cash Back. So, you get to see an inquiry on the left side where the shopper purchases a product and you have to return the change. This is a time-bound game and the faster you play, the faster you earn. There are three levels - Easy, Medium, and Difficult.

As you could see on the top, I got out faster and I earned only $11 with 2 sales but on the next attempt, I scored $77 with 13 sales. This helps you to sharpen your brain and help you in making calculations faster. 

The next game is Cashier Simulator

In the above-mentioned game, you need to consider yourself a cashier. A shopper will come and buy a few products. We need to calculate and get the payment/make the payment. 

What I liked about these games:

1. Easy to understand and play.

2. Does not occupy much memory while you are playing and can be played on a basic laptop too.

3. Since these are online games, you need not have to download them.

4. Colorful visuals.

5. Nice music and it differs for each game.

Doesn't this sound interesting? I am sure you would like it since it has various games under various categories. Indulge yourself during your free time and do introduce the same to your family and friends.

How will I not mention the website which gave me so much pleasure and joy?
