According to recent industry commentary, India’s virtual reality (VR) market size reached about USD 525 million in 2024 and is forecast to hit USD 3.5 billion by 2033. At the same time, companies such as Dassault Systèmes are emphasising the evolution from asset-based to IP-based business models, blending AI, VR/3D simulation and software in industrial workflows.
This means India’s tech talent pool must adapt: engineers will need skills in virtual simulation, digital twins and generative AI alongside traditional development. For startups and training-institutes, the opportunity lies in building platforms and courses that bridge this new skill gap and align with the future-ready workforce vision.
