New Delhi . Microsoft's developer platform GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke said on Wednesday that the population of developers in India is the fastest growing in the world.
“Now that India has the fastest growing developer population in the world, it is difficult to stop India's rise as a global tech titan,” he wrote on Social Media X.
Dohmke wrote in the next post that Indian developers have gone far ahead and are increasing the use of AI to create Artificial Intelligence (AI). India ranks second in terms of the number of contributors to publicly produced AI projects. This makes it more likely that the next big AI multinational will take over the continent.
According to the company, more than 17 million developers are using GitHub in India. There has been an increase of 28 percent in comparison to 2024.
The company further said that India has the second largest number of GitHub Education users, contributors to public generator AI projects, and contributions to open source projects, which shows India's influence as a global technology leader.
AI has moved beyond the 2023 hype as Indian developers and organizations prioritize outcomes over experimentation.
India is the second largest developer community behind the US in contributing to public generative AI projects on GitHub, with 79 percent growth over the last year.
India's contribution to these projects saw a 95 per cent yearonyear growth, ranking third globally after the US and Hong Kong.
GitHub estimates that India could overtake the US to become the world's largest developer community by 2028.
