India's economy has grown in waves, from textiles to IT.
A startup founder says the next big growth will come from Global Capability Centers (GCCs), data centers, and small businesses going digital.
He says India already has over 1,600 GCCs, and data center capacity is growing fast.
These companies and SMBs are expected to reshape the economy.
This change has sparked debate, with people discussing the need for adapting talent and systems to fit the new economic wave.
