“If India would slow down next year for whatever reason…, those numbers are often also dependent on things out of our control,” Dohmke told ET in a recent interaction.
“The overall economic environment, the demand global system integrators are seeing, the startup ecosystem, how many students come out of the colleges in the next year, the year, those (students) started in the middle of Covid… So, there are a lot of factors playing into these models.”
The US market is also growing thanks to the hype and excitement around artificial intelligence (AI), he said. “But we still see India becoming number one,” he added.
GitHub predicts that India will surpass the US to become the world’s largest developer community by 2028. It had previously forecasted this to happen by 2027. The platform cited “linear population growth” for the shift.
