An immediate need for 200,000 IT professionals. "This is being necessitated due to the advent of rapid technological innovations in the country's societal demands. Japan wants to fill this yawning gap and is looking towards India's assistance in the IT space.

Significant opportunities would be in automation, manufacturing, digital services, blockchain, artificial intelligence, data analytics, and IoT.
