The Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC), set up by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, and the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance India’s digital services exports and strengthen the global presence of Indian digital businesses.

The MoU envisions structured collaboration across multiple fronts, including establishment of joint working groups with relevant government ministries and regulators to address trade-related bottlenecks faced by digital services exporters; coordinated participation in global trade shows, delegations and bilateral forums to create international market access for Indian startups and digital businesses; organising capacity-building initiatives to support export readiness among emerging digital sectors; and promotion of key high-potential verticals including AdTech, FinTech, HealthTech, SaaS, Digital Entertainment, Edutech, Agri Summit, and Cross-Border E-commerce.

Abhay Sinha, Director General, SEPC, said, “India’s digital sector holds immense potential in the global services economy. Through this partnership with IAMAI, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for digital enterprises to grow their international footprint and benefit from structured policy and trade support.”
