KDEM Fintech Task Force Report

ABOUT BEYOND BENGALURU

State of Karnataka has emerged as the most preferred destination for investments by leading Indian and global multinationals, especially in the last decade. The City of Bengaluru has emerged as the IT, Biotech, Startups and deep tech capital of Karnataka and India and it hosts 400+ out of fortune 500 companies in its premises. Inspired by the growth of Bengaluru, other cities in Karnataka are also gearing up to become the next best destinations for technology and innovation.

KDEM envisions to harness the unlimited potential of the digital economy of Karnataka by focussing on IT Products and services, BPM and GCC Promotion, Innovation & Startups, ESDM, programs like Beyond Bengaluru, and Talent Accelerator; and contribute largest share in the Hon'ble PMs vision of USD 1 Trillion digital economy of India by 2025-26.

It is expected that such initiatives will lead to increasing demand from tech-based industries to strengthen their footing in the emerging tech clusters of the State in line with Hon'ble PMs vision of even growth across the country.
