India’s technology industry isn’t just evolving—it’s surging. From powering government initiatives like Digital India to becoming a hub for AI, semiconductors, and enterprise cloud services, the tech sector is now a central pillar of India’s high-growth narrative.
Technology Sector Mutual Funds offer a streamlined way for investors to benefit from this expansion. Historically, these funds have delivered 15–20% annualised returns over five years, though with elevated Volatility.

In 2025, the growth story gets more compelling:
