Abstract :
The vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 envisions India as a developed nation driven by innovation, inclusivity, sustainability, and global competitiveness. In this context, digital transformation has emerged as a strategic enabler for accelerating economic growth, enhancing productivity, and fostering inclusive development across sectors. This paper examines the role of digital transformation in Indian businesses and its contribution toward achieving the Viksit Bharat goals. It explores the conceptual foundations of digital transformation and analyzes key technology levers such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, cybersecurity, and data management. The study highlights sectoral impacts across manufacturing, services, agriculture, and MSMEs, demonstrating how digital adoption enhances operational efficiency, value creation, and global integration. The paper further evaluates policy frameworks including Digital India, Make in India, and other institutional initiatives supporting enterprise-level transformation. While digital transformation offers significant gains in productivity, employment generation, and inclusive growth, persistent challenges such as infrastructure gaps, regulatory constraints, skill shortages, and the digital divide remain critical barriers. Through policy recommendations and measurement indicators aligned with national development objectives, the study argues that an integrated ecosystem approach combining government support, institutional coordination, and private-sector innovation is essential to realize the Viksit Bharat vision by 2047.
