According to UNCTAD and executive surveys, India attracted $94.5 billion in foreign direct investment in 2025-26, driven by skilled labor and technological capabilities. Meanwhile, concerns arise over digital economy dynamics, with a large share of India's digital advertising spending benefiting foreign tech giants like Google and Meta, prompting discussions on data and technology sovereignty. These developments highlight India's complex engagement with global capital and digital markets.
