The digital economy has emerged as a transformative force influencing economic
growth, productivity, and structural development in emerging markets. This research paper
examines the relationship between the digital economy and GDP growth in India using
secondary data sources. The study analyzes key components such as digital infrastructure, e
commerce expansion, fintech adoption, and digital governance. It further evaluates GDP
growth trends alongside digital transformation indicators. The findings suggest a strong
positive correlation between digital penetration and economic expansion, particularly in sectors
like services, finance, and retail. The paper concludes that sustained investment in digital
infrastructure and inclusive access is critical for long-term economic growth in emerging
markets like India.
