New Delhi: The Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) commemorated its STPI 34th Foundation Day, celebrating a transformative journey that has defined India’s position as a global technology powerhouse.
Since 1991, STPI has played a vital role in building India’s software export economy and nurturing a resilient tech startup ecosystem, particularly across Tier-II and Tier-III cities.
Under the theme of “Tech-Powered Bharat,” this milestone reaffirms STPI’s ongoing commitment to inclusive innovation and digital empowerment. Operating 67 centres nationwide – 59 of which are in smaller cities – STPI has emerged as a catalyst for IT excellence, startup growth, and national digital transformation.
STPI 34th Foundation Day: ₹10 Lakh Crore+ in Exports, 1400+ Startups Empowered
Speaking on the occasion, Arvind Kumar, Director General of STPI, highlighted the organization’s unprecedented impact: “From just three centres in 1991 to 67 across the country today, STPI has fueled the rise of India’s IT industry. In FY 2024-25 alone, STPI-registered units recorded software exports worth over ₹10 lakh crore. Through our 24 Centres of Entrepreneurship (CoEs) and Next Generation Incubation Scheme (NGIS), we’ve supported more than 1400 startups, helping them raise over ₹574 crore in funding.”
