New GSMA research sets out how AI ready networks, digital trust and global standards can turn India’s connectivity scale into its next wave of economic growth
NEW DELHI, Oct. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — India must transform its world leading mobile connectivity footprint into greater economic value while making trust a foundation of its digital economy, the GSMA said today as it launched three reports at calls for India’s connectivity reach to be translated into AI ready infrastructure, stronger enterprise productivity and trusted digital services, supported by a sustainable investment environment.
The report identifies three priorities to get there:
- AI ready networks: India’s AI ambitions will require high capacity, secure, resilient and increasingly intelligent networks. AI can also improve network planning, energy efficiency, service assurance, cybersecurity and fraud detection.
- Enterprise digitisation: Fixed wireless access, private networks, cloud connectivity, network APIs and cybersecurity services can help businesses digitalise and create new opportunities for growth.
- Digital trust: Secure authentication, fraud prevention and privacy preserving network intelligence will become increasingly important as India’s digital economy expands.
Digital trust as a foundation for growth
The GSMA’s Digital Nations 2026: Building Trusted Digital Ecosystems in Asia Pacific assessed 22 countries across infrastructure, innovation, data governance, security and people. It identifies four foundations for digital trust: verifiable identities, authentic communications, resilient networks and the responsible sharing of trusted information.
