Overview

India's IT & ITES Sector —
Legally Sound, Commercially Agile.

India has emerged as the world's foremost destination for Information Technology and IT-enabled services — software development, business process outsourcing (BPO), knowledge process outsourcing (KPO), and legal process outsourcing (LPO). The sector contributes over USD 200 billion to India's economy and employs millions of professionals.

The legal landscape governing IT and ITES is governed by the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its amendments, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and a growing body of sector-specific regulations. Technology companies — whether domestic start-ups or global enterprises operating in India — face complex legal challenges across technology contracting, data privacy, IP ownership, cyber security compliance, and commercial disputes.

Juris and Justice advises technology companies, IT service providers, BPOs, software firms, start-ups, and global companies with Indian operations on all legal matters arising in the IT and ITES sector.
