<span class="gmail-break-words">From the CFP: "</span><span lang="EN-IN">India has long been recognized as a global IT
services powerhouse, often called the "back office to the world",
powering a significant part of the global economy. India's IT sector employs over
5 million people and
provides a significant talent pool for the world's leading technology
companies, with a 55% share of the global outsourcing market. As well as supporting
the growth of global technology companies, this vibrant sector is a major
contributor to the development of technology skills and innovation.
Indian-origin executives now lead some of the world's largest technology
companies.
This underscores the immense contribution of the Indian diaspora in shaping the
global technology landscape. However, despite this prominence of information
systems (IS) practice, IS research originating in India remains relatively
modest, especially when compared to its immense potential (Bandi et al., 2014;
Seetharaman et al., 2024). Despite the increasing amount of research on IS,
scholars note that this does not fully reflect the complex and dynamic
environment in which emerging technologies are being designed, developed, and used.
India presents a unique and dynamic environment for IS research, with its rapid
economic growth and ambitious Digital India initiative (Draboo, 2020). The
Indian context offers unique opportunities for meaningful research that bridges
the gap between practice and academia, characterized by diverse socio-cultural
factors.</span>"<br>
