Updated: Jan 22nd, 2025
India, which is leading workplace digital transformation globally, could reach advanced levels in the next 10 years, according to a report on Wednesday.
The report by software major Zoho said that around 71% of employees in India are already at advanced levels of digital maturity, significantly higher than the global average of 61%.
India’s digital transformation maturity score stood at 64.6%, surpassing developed nations and the global average of 62.3%.
However, while India is making significant progress in workplace digital transformation, the country still struggles with cybersecurity readiness, it added.
“In India, government institutions and large enterprises must reassess their digital transformation strategies to address cybersecurity gaps and enhance collaboration,” said Rakeeb Rafeek, market strategy lead, Zoho Workplace.
Despite advancements, only 37% of organisations offer cybersecurity training to employees, compared to 44% in the Asia-Pacific region and 41% globally.
The startups and enterprises embracing the digital transformation wave must adopt a forward-thinking approach, ensuring innovations like integrated suites, AI-powered analytics tools, and secure communication platforms are equipped to tackle both present and future challenges, according to Rafeek.
The report analysed the digital maturity of workplaces across the globe.
India’s digital transformation maturity score stood at 64.6%, surpassing developed nations and the global average of 62.3%.
The report further revealed that the secure remote work guidelines are followed by 33% of organisations in India, and less than half of remote and hybrid workers adhere to these measures.
While 74% of Indian companies provide a system for reporting suspicious emails, only 17% have advanced email security alerts, with the government and development sectors leading in adoption.
Over 5,000 employees worldwide participated in the survey, which examined factors like digital adoption, employee performance, and workplace tools.
